3 things You Didn’t Know About Car Accident Claims

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 11, 2008 – So you’ve had a car accident and you’re interested in making a claim. www.onecallsortsall.co.uk have provided this guide to 3 things you might not know about making a compensation claim after a car accident.

This quick 3 part guide from One Call Sorts All, the complete accident management service offered by Camps Solicitors, could help to disprove some of the common misconceptions about compensation claims..

If I make a claim my insurance premium will go up, right?

Wrong. When you make a claim through One Call Sorts All, our road accident solicitors Camps Solicitors will negotiate on your behalf with other insurance companies. By using us rather than your own insurers, your insurance premiums won’t increase as a result of your accident and you are not at risk of losing your no claims bonus.

If I need to use a hire car after an accident, Do I have to take whatever is offered?

No. Many people are used to putting up with matchbox-sized hire cars that maybe old, in poor condition, or just embarrassing to drive around in. Well there is no need to put up with sub-standard replacement hire cars any longer.

Rulings from UK courts have shown that judges believe that having a car accident should not mean you have to put up with an inferior hire car whilst your own is out of action. At One Call Sorts All, we offer all our clients like-for-like hire whilst they don’t have use of their own vehicle, at no extra cost.

If I am a passenger in a car that caused an accident, surely I can’t claim?

You might be surprised to learn that even if you were in a vehicle that was responsible for causing a car accident, then you may still have grounds to claim compensation for any injuries you suffered.

All the costs and compensation in a road traffic accident claim are covered by the insurance company of the driver involved, so you will not be taking money off them directly, which is often a concern if you are a friend or relative of the driver.
