How Vicky got UK car accident compensation

In the UK, car accident compensation is now much more accessible than it used to be. This is mainly thanks to the introduction of no win, no fee agreements, also known as conditional fee agreements, which mean that everyone injured through no fault of their own has the option of taking legal action without having to find up-front funding.

As a result, more and more people are choosing to go down the route of a UK car accident compensation claim after suffering personal injuries in a car crash. Whilst some will argue that this "claims culture" is a worry for society, most of those who have managed to get road accident compensation with the help of a no win, no fee solicitor are hugely grateful for the chance it gave them.

One person who can certainly attest to this is Vicky S, a 29-year-old landscape gardener from Kent. She had suffered serious personal injuries in a road traffic accident in April 2006, and decided to contact YouClaim about UK car accident compensation. She asked us to feature her story on our website so that others may have the confidence to step forward and claim themselves.

Car crash on a rainy morning
Vicky was travelling to do some location work in East Sussex and was on an A-road when her car accident occurred in morning rush hour. She had rounded a curve in the road and slowed down to join the end of a queue of traffic that had built up ahead of her. Unfortunately, the lorry behind her did not see the queue in time and failed to slow down enough.

It collided with the back of her car at around 30mph, in turn sending her estate into the back of a van in front of her. She had to be cut free from her wrecked vehicle and was rushed to hospital with a broken leg, a broken wrist and an open head injury. After surgery and a week-long stay in the hospital, she was left to complete her long road to recovery at home.

It took several months for her to regain her previous mobility, during which time she found it impossible to work. Whilst her leg and wrist eventually healed up, she was left with ongoing headaches from her head injury which she found very difficult to cope with.

Although she had initially shied away from the idea of claiming personal injury compensation, she decided that the many months that she had been off work necessitated legal action of some kind. She looked up YouClaim on the web, and gave us a call to find out more about our UK car accident compensation services.

After being told about our totally cost-free no win, no fee solicitors and our 100% compensation guarantee, Vicky decided to go ahead with her compensation claim. Almost exactly one year after her road traffic accident, we were able to secure her £15,500 in UK car accident compensation. This included her lost earnings and expenses, as well as the pain and suffering that she experienced because of her personal injuries.
