If you’re considering an auto accident injury claim, it’s vital to take the correct steps right after the incident to protect your rights and prepare a strong case. At Claim Time Solicitors, we recommend you act quickly and carefully—here’s how we guide our clients:

  1. Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injury seems minor, because symptoms may emerge later.

  2. Collect evidence at the scene—take photographs of damage, note the road-layout, capture the other driver’s details, and gather witness contacts.

  3. Report the accident to the police (if required) and to your insurer as soon as possible.

  4. Keep a record of all expenses, losses, and how the injury affects your life—this will support your compensation claim.

  5. Contact us at Claim Time Solicitors without delay. Our team specialises in accident claims, including auto accident injury cases, and we offer a No Win No Fee service so you can focus on recovery while we handle the legal process for you.

By taking these steps early you strengthen your chances of success. Delay can lead to loss of evidence, fading witness memory, or missed time-limits—so don’t wait, get advice today.
