Can I make a No Win No Fee road traffic accident claim in Liverpool?
At Slater and Gordon, we understand that the cost of pursuing legal action can seem daunting and restrictive. We don’t believe that anyone should be prevented from pursuing the justice and compensation they deserve due to financial restrictions, which is why most of the road accidents we pursue are done so by way of a No Win No Fee agreement.
Under a No Win No Fee agreement – also known as a conditional fee agreement – you are not required to pay any upfront legal fees to begin a claim and, if for any reason your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t need to cover any of the costs. This means there is never any financial risk to making a claim.
What is the process for making a road traffic accident claim?
Pursing legal action can seem daunting and, at times, the process of claiming road accident compensation can be complex. Our road and car accident lawyers will be on hand to take you through the process step-by-step, explaining each stage in detail and providing the advice and guidance you need to ensure the best possible outcome for you.
To start a claim, simply get in touch with a member of our team on 0330 041 5869 or using our online form. We’ll ask a few questions to establish the circumstances of your accident and, if we think you have a claim, we can contact the other party’s insurers to start the process.
To ensure your claim is successful, we’ll also collect the evidence we need to support your case. This may include accessing your medical records, liaising with the police and any witnesses, and arranging an independent medical examination.
At every stage, we’ll keep you informed of your claim’s progress, allowing you to focus on your recovery and moving forward with your life.
I would like to say a huge thank you to Sian Thomas and Michaela Cregan from Slater Gordon, you made a distressing experience so much easier, both were always contactable, and they kept me up to date throughout the process. The whole process took 3.5 years due to the claim however I was always kept in the loop.

Just want to say a big thank to Slater & Gordon for helping me with my personal injury claim. I want to give a special mention to my case handler Lauren Kleinhorn, who dealt with my case from start to finish. Lauren was very professional, kept me updated throughout, explained each step of the case and what my options were all very clearly for me to understand. I found the whole process very smooth and easy. Once again a big thank you to Lauren.

Frequently asked questions about road traffic accident claims in Liverpool
How can Slater and Gordon’s road and car accident lawyers in Liverpool help me?
Suffering from an injury caused on the road can be a very isolating experience, particularly if your injuries have meant taking time out of work or prevented you from participating in your usual social activities. It’s important to know that you don’t have to go it alone, and having the right legal expertise in your corner can do more than help you make a compensation claim.
We pride ourselves on taking a holistic approach to road traffic accident claims, working closely with our in-house rehabilitation coordinator and support organisations to ensure you receive the treatment and guidance you need to move forward with your life. What’s more, we’re proud to work with many incredible charities supporting the victims of road accidents, including Brake and Road Peace.
How much road traffic accident compensation could I be entitled to?
It can be difficult to determine how much compensation you could be entitled to without first reviewing the circumstances of your case. This is because there are many different factors that can influence the amount you could be owed.
In general, the severity of your injuries and the impact they have on your ability to carry out daily activities will have the biggest impact on the amount of compensation you could receive. However, other factors such as loss of wages or the cost of any treatment or rehabilitation you require will also be considered.
How long do I have to make a road accident claim?
Under UK law, you have three years from the date of your accident to make a road accident claim. There are a few exceptions to this rule; for example, if you were under the age of 18 at the time of the accident, you’ll have three years from the date of your 18th birthday.
Whatever your circumstances, we strongly encourage you speak to a specialist solicitor as soon as possible, as they will be able to advise you of any time limits that may pertain to your case.
How long does the road accident claims process take?
It is hard to say how long a road accident claim will take to process as there are several factors that will influence the timeline. For instance, where liability by the other side is accepted from the outset, the process can be wrapped up much more quickly.
Our solicitors work hard to establish liability swiftly and ensure the claims process runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible from start to finish, while securing the best outcome for you. To learn more, get in touch today.
