Common injuries

Injury types we can help with

Car crashes can cause injuries ranging from minor whiplash to life-changing trauma. Whatever you're dealing with, we've handled road traffic accident claims like yours before.

Neck

Whiplash & neck injuries

The most common car accident injury. Even a low-speed collision can cause whiplash that takes months to heal and affects your daily life.

Head Brain

Head injuries & concussion

From mild concussion to traumatic brain injury. Even a "minor" head knock can affect your memory, concentration, and ability to work.

Broken Bone

Broken bones & fractures

Arms, legs, ribs, collarbones, pelvis. High-impact collisions cause fractures that mean months off work, surgery, and lengthy rehabilitation.

Spine

Spinal & back injuries

Back trauma, herniated discs, and spinal cord damage that can change your life forever. These injuries often require long-term treatment.

Chest

Chest & internal injuries

Broken ribs, punctured lungs, and internal bleeding caused by seatbelt force or steering wheel impact. Serious injuries that need urgent medical attention.

Mental Health

Psychological trauma

Anxiety, nightmares, fear of driving again. The mental impact is a real injury that deserves real compensation. We make sure it's included.

Important information

1 If your claim succeeds, a success fee of 42% incl. VAT will be charged. If you cancel after the 14-day cancellation period, a cancellation fee may apply.

Claimsline Group Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in respect of regulated claims management activities (FRN 831196).

Claimsline Group Ltd is a claims management company and receives a referral fee for introducing customers to a solicitor. Any solicitor we recommend you to is an independent professional from whom you will receive impartial and confidential guidance. You are free to choose another solicitor.

You are not required to use a claims management company to make a personal injury claim. It is possible to present the claim yourself for free, either directly to the person you wish to claim against, or through an authorised person such as a solicitor. For some lower-value road traffic injury claims, eligible adults who were driving or travelling as a passenger in a vehicle may be able to use the Official Injury Claim service to make a claim themselves for free. The accident must have happened in England or Wales, and eligibility and claim-value limits apply.

Every car accident is different. Your injuries, recovery and lost earnings all factor in.

Common questions

Car accident claims FAQ

Everything you need to know about making a car accident claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.

If someone else caused your car accident, through careless driving, speeding, distraction, or running a red light, you deserve compensation. Whether you were driving or a car passenger, the impact of a crash can leave you with serious injuries and mounting bills.

We know a crash can leave you facing medical costs, time off work and pressure from every direction. You shouldn't have to work out the next step alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.

Yes, rear-end collisions are one of the most common types of car accident claims. The driver behind is almost always at fault for failing to keep a safe distance. Whether you have whiplash, back pain, or more serious injuries, you deserve compensation. Call us on 0333 006 8282 and we'll talk you through the next step.

Compensation depends on your injuries and financial losses. Minor whiplash typically ranges from £2,070-£4,080, while serious back injuries can be worth £11,730-£26,050 or more. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical bills, and travel costs on top of injury compensation.

Yes, you can still claim even if you were partially to blame. The law uses "split liability", so if you were 20% at fault and the other driver 80%, you'd receive 80% of your compensation. Your solicitor will fight for the lowest possible blame percentage.

Absolutely. The Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) handles car accident claims when uninsured or untraced drivers cause accidents. You won't be left out of pocket because someone else broke the law by driving without insurance.

Hit-and-run cases work the same way. Can't find the driver? The MIB covers you. We handle MIB claims regularly, same process, same dedication.

You have three years from your accident date to start your claim. Don't wait though. Evidence disappears and witnesses forget details over time. If you're approaching that deadline, get in touch immediately as we might still be able to help.

Car accidents remain a serious problem on UK roads. In 2023, 29,643 people were killed or seriously injured in road traffic accidents across Great Britain, that's 81 people every single day.

These numbers highlight why claiming compensation matters. If a loved one was tragically lost, we also handle fatal car accident claims.
