The car accident compensation claim and a matter of trust

If you've had a car accident there will be many things to focus upon, particularly if you weren't at fault and have received a personal injury as a result of the collision. You may well also be suffering from shock and if someone turns up on your doorstep or rings you at work saying, "Here's a cheque which represents full and final settlement of your car accident compensation claim," you may well be tempted to take it.

But wait, this tactic, known as third party capture should not be trusted without further investigation. Accepting the payment may mean you are being under-compensated, and once you have signed for the cheque you will have no redress should your injuries, such as whiplash or back injury, worsen.

Why it's best to wait before making a car accident compensation claim
In many cases, personal injuries caused by a car accident will not fully develop for days, sometimes even weeks, and it may be that a car accident victim will need to take many more days off work than they originally anticipated immediately after the incident.

Some forms of whiplash, neck injury and back injury may require therapy and treatment regimes which will lead to extra costs and if the car accident claimant has instructed a personal injury solicitor they are much more likely to receive the best level of advice to make sure they receive the appropriate amount of car crash compensation.

An insurer for the at-fault party is likely to offer an amount much less than what is truly justifiable in an effort to keep the cost of the car accident claim down, but, as the injured party, it is the victim's right to seek suitable recompense. This can only be accurately calculated over the fullness of time; with due thought given to all the issues surrounding recovery and whether the car accident has affected potential earning capacity in the future.

No win, no fee claims for a car accident are a civil right
Far from being part of the so-called and much maligned "money-grabbing compensation culture" a car accident victim has a perfectly justifiable civil right to make a claim for full compensation and it is the swingeing action of third party capture which is the dubious and underhand side of accident compensation.
