Proving fault for a car accident claim – best solicitor Leeds?

To a claim for car accident compensation you must prove a driver is legally at fault. These simple steps will help you determine whether you are due compensation:

1. Has a driving error occurred?

You can only make a car accident compensation claim if another driver has made a driving error. Consider the Highway Code. Did the other driver break any of the rules? If so, there is a good chance they have made a driving error or been negligent.

2. Think about whether the accident was ‘foreseeable’

Should the driver have known their action could result in an accident? This is about applying common sense to determine whether the accident was avoidable.

4. Has the driving error caused personal injury?

If a doctor or other medical professional has stated that injuries you are suffering from are a direct result of the accident, then this point is proven. Remember, injuries can be psychological as well as physical so conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder are included when assessing personal injury.

If another driver is convicted of a road traffic offence, that is usually enough to prove negligence but you may be able to claim car accident compensation even without a conviction. To talk to us about whether you are entitled to personal injury compensation Leeds following a cart accident get in touch today.
