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 road traffic accident is different. Your injuries, recovery and lost earnings all factor in.

Common questions

Road traffic accident claims FAQ

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

If another driver caused your road traffic accident, through careless driving, speeding, or distracted behaviour, you deserve compensation. As a road user, the impact of a collision can be devastating, leaving you with injuries, lost earnings, and mounting stress.

We see drivers and passengers struggling with pain, anxiety, and financial pressure after an RTA. None of that should be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.

You absolutely can claim compensation as a passenger injured in a road traffic accident. It doesn't matter that you weren't driving, if someone else caused the crash, you deserve compensation. We'll explain what happens next and connect eligible cases with the right working partners.

Your RTA compensation depends on your injuries and how they've affected your life. Minor injuries typically range from £2,000-£12,000, while serious injuries can reach £40,000+. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical bills, and travel costs on top of injury compensation.

Get medical attention first, then call the police if there are injuries or the road is blocked. Take photos of the damage and get the other driver's insurance details if it's safe to do so. Contact us as soon as possible. It's No Win, No Fee¹ and we'll protect your claim from day one.

No upfront payment is required to start your road traffic accident claim with us. Under this arrangement, a success fee only applies if your claim succeeds, and any fees or cancellation terms will be explained before you proceed.

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.

Road traffic accidents remain a serious problem on UK roads. According to Department for Transport statistics (2023), over 120,000 people were injured in road traffic accidents across the UK. Nearly 19,000 pedestrians were hurt, 72,000 car occupants, 15,000 cyclists, and 16,000 motorcyclists.

63% of these accidents happened in built-up areas, your local high street, the road outside your children's school. If you've been injured in an RTA that wasn't your fault, you're entitled to claim compensation.
