What costs or losses can be included in a road traffic accident claim, such as vehicle damage, rehabilitation costs, loss of income, medical expenses, and other financial impacts caused by the accident?
A road traffic accident claim can cover a wide range of financial and personal losses caused by the accident. When seeking traffic accident compensation, you may be able to recover costs such as:
-
Vehicle damage or repair costs
-
Medical treatment and hospital expenses
-
Rehabilitation and physiotherapy fees
-
Loss of income if you couldn’t work
-
Future loss of earnings if the injury affects long-term work
-
Travel expenses for hospital visits or appointments
-
Care and support costs, even if provided by family
-
Replacement of damaged personal items like phones, clothing, or glasses
-
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress compensation
-
Ongoing treatment, medication, or specialist support
These costs ensure your claim reflects the full impact of the accident — not just the immediate damage. Firms like Claim Time Solicitors can help assess your situation and make sure every eligible loss is included so you receive fair traffic accident compensation.
