Road Traffic Accident Claims Solicitors
Being involved in a road accident can turn a normal day into something far more difficult. You might be dealing with an injury, damage to your vehicle and time away from work. But, if someone else was responsible for the accident, you might be able to claim compensation for the injuries and losses you’ve suffered. That’s where RTA claims come in.
The road accident solicitors at Swan Solicitors can assess your circumstances, advise you on your options and handle the legal process for you, making sure your road traffic accident claim is handled professionally.

Car Accident Claim Solicitors
A car accident can leave you facing more than the immediate damage to your vehicle. If you’ve been injured, you might also need treatment, time off work or help with everyday tasks. Our car accident claim solicitors can help with collisions involving another driver, whether you were behind the wheel or travelling as a passenger.
Liability isn’t always accepted straight away, especially if the drivers give different accounts of what happened, which is why evidence is important. Depending on the accident, this could include photographs, witness statements, CCTV, vehicle damage, police records and medical evidence. If you’re unsure whether you have an RTA claim, we can help.
- Photographs
- Witness statements
- CCTV
- Vehicle damage
- Police records
- Medical evidence
Claiming Road Traffic Accident Compensation
The effects of a road accident don’t necessarily end when you leave the scene. An injury might affect your ability to work, leave you needing treatment or mean that you need help at home while you recover. Depending on the circumstances, road traffic accident compensation claims can include losses such as loss of earnings, medical treatment, rehabilitation and travel expenses. Our road traffic injury solicitors can look at the effect the accident has had on your life and discuss the losses that could be relevant to your claim.
What to Do After a Road Traffic Accident
It can be difficult to know what you should do after an accident, especially if you’ve been injured, but there are a few practical steps that can help.
If you’ve already left the scene and didn’t manage to collect all this information, don’t assume you can’t make a claim, as our car accident solicitors might be able to get evidence another way.
Get medical advice.
If you’ve been injured, make sure to get medical advice.
Take photos of the scene.
If it’s safe to do so, take photos of the vehicles, damage, road layout, signs and anything else that could help to establish what happened.
Take witness details.
If anyone saw the accident, take their name and contact details if you can.
Report the accident if required.
You might need to report the accident to the police, depending on what happened.
Notify your insurer.
Check your insurance policy and notify your insurer about the accident.
No-Win, No-Fee Road Traffic Accident Solicitors
The potential cost of making a claim is something worth considering before you start, but we might be able to act for you under a no-win, no-fee agreement. If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t have to pay legal fees for your RTA solicitor. If your claim succeeds, a fee might be deducted from your compensation.
There could also be other costs or conditions depending on your circumstances and the way your claim is funded. We’ll explain everything before you commit to making an RTA claim, and you can then decide whether you’re happy with the terms. If you’re looking for car accident solicitors on a no-win, no-fee basis, we can discuss whether this type of arrangement is available for your claim.
Starting an RTA Claim
1. Initial discussion
Our no-win, no-fee road traffic accident solicitors will discuss everything with you, ensuring they have the information needed to pursue a claim.
2. Evidence gathering
If you decide to proceed, we’ll gather the evidence needed to support your claim. This might include photographs, witness evidence, accident reports, medical records and information about your financial losses, and you might also be asked to attend an independent medical examination.
3. The other side’s response
The other side will have an opportunity to respond and they might accept responsibility, dispute the claim or argue that you were partly responsible for the accident, but that’s all handled by our no-win, no-fee motoring solicitors.
Timescales
There isn’t a set timescale for every RTA claim, but we work as quickly as possible to ensure your claim moves smoothly.
