Car Accident Claims
Road Traffic Accident Compensation Solicitors
A car accident can turn your life upside down in seconds. One moment everything is normal — the next you’re dealing with injuries, a damaged vehicle, time off work, and the overwhelming stress of knowing it wasn’t even your fault.
You shouldn’t have to carry that burden alone. If you were injured in a road traffic accident in England that someone else caused, you are entitled to claim compensation — and Regent Law’s specialist car accident solicitors are here to make that process as straightforward as possible.
We offer a free, no-obligation case assessment and operate on a No Win, No Fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win.
Do You Have a Valid Car Accident Claim in England?
Most people who have been injured in a road traffic accident in England are entitled to make a compensation claim, provided the accident was wholly or partly the fault of another driver. You do not need to have been the driver — passengers, cyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians all have the right to claim.
You may have grounds for a car accident claim in England if:
If you are unsure whether the accident was your fault, contact us anyway. Many clients are surprised to learn they have a valid claim even in complex circumstances.
What Injuries Can You Claim For?
Road traffic accident compensation claims in England can be brought for a wide range of physical and psychological injuries. You do not need to have suffered a catastrophic injury—even relatively minor injuries that have affected your daily life, your work, or your wellbeing are compensable.
Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries
Whiplash is the most common injury arising from rear-end collisions and low-speed impacts. Despite its reputation as a minor injury, severe whiplash can cause weeks or months of pain, restricted movement, and disruption to work and daily life. Regent Law handles whiplash claims in England under the post-2021 Official Injury Claim (OIC) portal rules and the traditional pre-action protocol for higher-value claims.
Head and Brain Injuries
From mild concussion to serious traumatic brain injury, road traffic accidents are a leading cause of head injuries in England. These claims often involve long-term consequences and require careful, specialist handling to ensure full future losses are accounted for.
Back and Spinal Injuries
Spinal injuries — ranging from herniated discs to more serious cord damage — frequently arise from high-impact collisions. Long-term back problems can affect your earning capacity, your independence, and your quality of life significantly.
Broken Bones and Fractures
Fractures to arms, legs, wrists, ribs, and collarbones are common in road traffic accidents. Where recovery is extended or surgical intervention is required, compensation values increase accordingly.
Psychological Injuries
The trauma of a serious car accident can result in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, travel phobia, and depression. These psychological injuries are every bit as valid as physical ones and can be claimed for in full.
Fatal Road Traffic Accidents
If you have lost a loved one in a road traffic accident caused by another driver's negligence, Regent Law can advise on a fatal accident claim under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976 and Law Reform Act 1934. We handle these cases with the sensitivity and care they demand.
What Steps Should You Take After a Car Accident?
The actions you take in the hours and days after an accident can significantly affect the strength of your claim. Wherever possible:
- Call the police if anyone is injured or if the other driver fails to stop — you have a legal obligation to report
- Exchange details with the other driver — name, address, insurance details, and vehicle registration
- Photograph the scene — damage to all vehicles, road conditions, weather, skid marks, traffic signs
- Get witness details — names and contact numbers of anyone who saw the accident
- Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Symptoms like whiplash often emerge 24–48 hours later. A medical record establishes the link between the accident and your injury
- Notify your insurer — even if you don’t intend to claim through them
- Contact Regent Law — the sooner you instruct a solicitor, the stronger your position

Step 2:
No Win, No Fee Agreement If we take on your case, we sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). This is your No Win, No Fee guarantee — you pay nothing unless and until your claim succeeds.

Step 4:
Medical Assessment You will be referred to an independent medical expert who will assess your injuries, confirm their severity, and provide a report that forms the cornerstone of your compensation claim.
Step 5:
Negotiation and Settlement The majority of car accident claims in England are settled through negotiation with the at-fault driver's insurance company, without going to court. Our solicitors are skilled negotiators who push for the maximum settlement, not a quick low offer.
Step 6:
Court Proceedings (If Required) If the insurer disputes liability or makes an unreasonably low offer, we will not hesitate to issue court proceedings. Our track record in contested RTA claims speaks for itself.
