It means you can pursue justice with one less thing to worry about.

If that sounds like your situation, we’re here to listen and support you every step of the way.
A road traffic accident (RTA) claim is a way to seek compensation if you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence on the road. These accidents can involve cars, motorcycles, cyclists, pedestrians, or other road users, and may lead to anything from minor injuries to life-changing conditions. Compensation can help cover medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, and adjustments to your daily life. If another party was at fault, making a claim can provide the financial support needed to aid your recovery.
How much compensation you receive will depend on the type and severity of your injuries, as well as the financial losses you’ve experienced as a result. You usually have up to three years from the date of the accident, or from the date your injury was diagnosed, to bring a claim. Acting early ensures your case has the strongest chance of success.
Road traffic accidents can happen in many different situations. At CEL Solicitors, we help people who have been injured in a range of scenarios, including:
These claims involve pedestrians injured by a vehicle while walking near or across roads. Common causes include drivers failing to stop at crossings or driving recklessly in residential areas.
If you were injured while travelling as a passenger in a car, taxi, bus, or other vehicle, you may be eligible to claim compensation. These accidents often arise from collisions, sudden braking, or careless driving by another road user.
Accidents involving buses or coaches can cause injuries to both seated and standing passengers. Claims may involve vehicle collisions, sudden stops, or unsafe driving conditions.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on the road. These claims involve injuries sustained while riding, often caused by other drivers failing to spot bikes or making sudden moves without checking mirrors or blind spots.
Cyclists injured in collisions with cars, buses, or pedestrians may be entitled to compensation. Common causes include drivers failing to give way, overtaking too closely, or opening doors into cycle lanes.
If you were driving and injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim. This includes rear-end collisions, being hit at junctions, or accidents caused by dangerous or uninsured drivers.

You may be eligible if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence. It’s essential to demonstrate that the other party was at fault and that their actions directly caused your injury. Consulting a solicitor can help assess your case’s eligibility.
Personal injury claims can arise from various situations, including road traffic accidents, workplace accidents, slips, trips, and falls, public liability incidents, and more.
You have three years from the date of the accident – or three years from the date of discovering the accident – to bring a personal injury claim. Those aged under 18 have until their 21st birthday to bring a claim. Despite this limit, acting promptly gives a better chance of success.
A no-win, no-fee agreement, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), means you don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees. At CEL Solicitors, you only pay your solicitor if your claim is successful. This means bringing a claim is risk-free.
The amount of compensation varies based on the severity and impact of your injuries, medical expenses, lost earnings, and other related costs. A solicitor can provide an estimate based on similar cases and guidelines.
Key evidence includes medical records, accident reports, witness statements, photographs of the accident scene, CCTV footage, and any other documentation that supports your claim. The more evidence you can provide, the greater your chance of success.
Yes, psychological injuries such as stress, anxiety, depression, or PTSD resulting from an accident can be included in a personal injury claim. It’s important to have these injuries diagnosed and documented by a medical professional.
