Road Traffic Accident Claims

There are multiple factors to consider when processing road traffic accident claims.

Accident Claims Management Companies, like ourselves at Auto Claims Assist, are usually the only type of company which will help to cover and manage all of the factors involved.

Depending on the extent of the damage, your vehicle may be able to be driven away from the accident site. However, If the damage is significant, or you are not sure if it is safe to drive, then you should consider contacting an Accident Recovery Services.

Accident Recovery can be daunting and also costly depending on what you choose to do. Even this early in the process; non-fault drivers can feel the financial sting of a non-fault accident.

Providing that the accident wasn’t your fault; Auto Claims Assist have a non-fault accident recovery service, ready and waiting on 0330 128 1407.

As part of choosing us for your road traffic accident claim, and providing we can take on your case, your recovery will be at no cost to you within your credit hire service. We cover the costs for you and claim them back from the at-fault driver’s insurer.

Does initiating a claim mean that I need to go to court?

Don’t be too worried about going to court. In the majority of cases, negotiations with the other driver’s insurance or representative lead to successful conclusions without a court hearing. Even if a court date is issued, it’s still likely that your claim might conclude before that date comes up. We find that on average 95% of cases are settled without the need to go to court.

However, should a case proceed to a court hearing; your dedicated claims handler will ensure that everything is processed correctly; leaving you without the stress or concern of it all. Our panel of solicitors will be dedicated to ensuring that justice results in a fair outcome.

Whereas, with credit hire, we can provide a replacement vehicle that is exactly like your old one, from within 4 hours of the accident, but without any of the hassle or expense.

We will arrange for a replacement vehicle to be delivered to you, so you can carry on with your life as normal.

The replacement vehicle will be of the same specification as your vehicle, no matter how luxurious or large that may be. You won’t have to make any compromises.

You won’t have to pay a penny for the replacement vehicle, as we will cover the cost of hire and reclaim the costs from the other driver’s insurer.

We provide you with the replacement throughout the entire duration that yours is away, even while your vehicle is being repaired. You won’t be left stranded.

The repair of your vehicle is another factor that needs to be taken into consideration during road traffic accident claims.

By not choosing the accident claims route wisely after the accident, a non-fault driver could end up having to financially outlay the costs of the accident repairs; then being made to wait until the claim’s conclusion to be re-paid those costs.

Through credit hire, an accident management company can get your vehicle repaired and back on the road without you having to pay out.

Then, just like with the vehicle replacement, the accident management company will re-claim those costs back from the at-fault driver’s insurance company.

Vehicle diminution is the loss in value of a vehicle as a result of damage, repairs or other factors.

An important factor to consider when making a claim for vehicle damages after an accident; it is important to take into account any potential loss in value of your vehicle. This is common in more prestige and high-end vehicles.

If your vehicle has been damaged, repaired or is otherwise worth less than it was before the incident, you may be able to make a claim for diminution in value. This can be claimed as part of your overall damages, or separately.

A non-fault accident specialist, such as Auto Claims Assist, will include diminution claims within your accident management process.

If a non-fault driver chooses to contact their insurance company directly, or just work with a dedicated personal injury solicitor.

If a non-fault driver chooses to contact their insurance company directly, or just work with a dedicated personal injury solicitor, for example; they may find that finer details, such as diminution claims, get overlooked.

Diminution claims are slightly more specialist. As a credit hire company, we take vehicle damages very seriously as part of road traffic accident claims.

Your Auto Claims Assist dedicated claims handler will help you to expertly assess the loss in value of your vehicle, caused by the accident, and will negotiate with the other party’s insurance company on your behalf. All costs associated with calculating loss of value and claiming back the costs will be covered by the at-fault driver’s insurance policy. There will be no cost to you for this privilege.

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident, it is important to seek medical help as soon as possible, even if you do not think you are injured. Some injuries, such as whiplash, may not be immediately apparent but can still cause long-term problems.

If you delay seeking medical treatment, it may be more difficult to prove that your injuries were caused by the accident, and you may have more difficulty processing a road traffic accident claim.

Try to get the contact details of any witnesses to the accident, as their testimony may be important when making a claim. Safety of you and your passengers is the first priority after a car accident.
