Road Traffic Accident in the UK
You can make a claim if you were a driver, a passenger, a pedestrian, or a cyclist involved in an accident that was not due to your fault. You may also be able to make a claim if you are a relative of someone who died in an accident that was not his/her fault. Claims can arise from accidents involving all type of vehicles - including car, bus, lorry, motorcycle and bicycle.
If you have been involved in a road traffic accident and want to make an accident compensation claim, you can speed up your prospective claim by obtaining the following details:-
The name and address of the person who was at fault
His/Her insurance details, preferably including policy number and insurance company
Vehicle registration number
Name and addresses of any witnesses who saw or have information
about the accident
Name and Number of the Police officer who attended the accident and
any correspondence from them.
It is also helpful if you can draw a sketch plan of what actually happened
