Making a no win, no fee claim against a loved one
If you have suffered a personal injury in an accident that was caused by somebody you know, you may be eligible to make a no win, no fee compensation claim against them. But don’t worry, making a claim against them would not leave them out of pocket as it would be made against their insurers.
If you have been involved in a car accident and sustained personal injuries as a result of the crash, you may wish to consider talking to a personal injury solicitor about making a claim for your suffering.
Compensation claims in the news
No win, no fee injury claims against relatives and friends are not unheard of and a number of successful cases have been reported in the media. Several years ago an elderly man who was left paralysed following a serious motor accident contacted compensation solicitors and made a claim against his wife who had been driving the vehicle that day.
His wife's insurers admitted liability for the car crash and the man was awarded £750,000. This sum was paid by his wife's insurance company and not by the wife herself.
Upon hearing the news that the man would be awarded damages, his solicitor said, "When a relation is responsible for a road accident, it's very common that the injured relation will sue the negligent relation because it's the insurance company that pays compensation."
Car accident claims
A great number of accidents involving loved ones will occur in vehicle accidents. If you have suffered passenger injuries in an accident and the car was being driven by a friend or relative, you would be able to make a claim against them for your injuries.
If the driver of the car has a protected no claims discount on their insurance then their premium will not be affected by your claim. However, if their no claims discount is not protected your claim could increase the cost of their future motor insurance.
However, the driver of the vehicle is already likely to be making a claim on their insurance for damages caused to their car and so your no win, no fee claim will have no added affect on their on their policy.
Possible types of household injuries include
If you are visiting the home of a loved one, it is their responsibility to provide a safe environment for you and not expose you to the risk of having to make a personal injury no win, no fee claim.
There are a number of dangers that could cause an accident in the home including a loosely fitted carpet and cracks in a concrete driveway. If you have been injured in an accident, you can choose to contact a personal injury solicitor and make a no win, no fee claim against your loved one's household insurers.
