Road traffic accidents (RTA) personal injury work covers injuries arising from vehicle collisions on public roads. A solicitor in this area handles claims against at-fault drivers or insurers, seeking compensation for injuries, loss of earnings, and other damages. They gather medical evidence, obtain accident reports, review liability, and prepare or respond to settlements and court proceedings. They also advise on stages such as pre-action protocols, liability assessment, and the options for funding and settlement or litigation strategy.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The work hinges on proving fault and securing appropriate damages within strict time limits, including the three-year limitation period in many cases. A solicitor helps preserve your position by ensuring timely action, coordinating medical records, expert reports, and negotiation with insurers, and guiding you through potential court or tribunal steps if liability is disputed or offers are not fair.
