Road traffic collision FAQs

Explore frequently asked questions about road traffic collisions, legal obligations, insurance claims, and how Amicus Law helps you secure compensation with expert personal injury legal advice.

What should I do immediately after a collision?

Contact the emergency services if you, or someone else, is injured. It may be best to ask for the ambulance service in the first instance, although you may also require help from the police and fire department.

Should I speak to the other driver?

If you are able to,speak to the other driver. Ask them for their contact details and their insurance details. If either of you cannot provide insurance details, the incident must be reported to the police within 24 hours and insurance information provided, in accordance with the Road Traffic Act 1988.

What if there are witnesses?

If there are any witnesses to the collision, make sure you take their names and contact details. They could make a big difference if there is an argument regarding whose fault the collision was later on.

Is it important to take photographs?

If you can, take photographs of any damage to the vehicles.

When should I notify my insurer?

At your earliest opportunity, notify your insurer. If you do not notify them, there is a risk that you will not be covered for the collision.

Can I claim compensation for injuries?

If you, or someone else, is injured, contact a specialist Personal Injury lawyer. They will be able to discuss the incident with you and help you recover compensation for your injuries if the collision was someone else’s fault. Here at Amicus Law, we will talk you through the legalities step by step and make the process clear and easy to understand.
