Get Started
If you’ve been injured in a road traffic accident as a car driver, you may be entitled to compensation. Whether it was a collision caused by another driver, a hit-and-run, or hazardous road conditions, these types of accidents can lead to serious injuries and disruption to your life. At CEL Solicitors, our expert team of Road Traffic Accident (RTA) solicitors is here to guide you through the claims process with compassion and clarity.
We know how stressful it can be dealing with physical injuries, lost earnings, and the emotional toll an accident can take. Our goal is to make the claims process as straightforward and stress-free as possible while fighting for the compensation you deserve.
Car driver accidents are a leading cause of personal injury claims in the UK. Every day, thousands of motorists face risks on the road due to speeding, careless driving, adverse weather, or poorly maintained roads. While not all incidents result in injury, many do, ranging from minor whiplash to severe trauma requiring long-term care. Road safety continues to be a national concern, with drivers often bearing the brunt of collisions. If you’ve been involved in an accident as a driver, seeking legal advice could help you secure the support and compensation you need to move forward.
A road traffic accident can leave more than just physical wounds. The emotional toll, time off work, and ongoing medical needs can all affect your wellbeing. Bringing a claim can help ease that burden and give you the support you need to move forward. Here’s what your compensation could cover:
You may be entitled to recover the cost of any private treatment, medication, or follow-up care not fully covered by the NHS.
If your injuries have kept you from working — even temporarily — you could claim for lost income, including future losses if your ability to work has been affected.
This includes compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the incident, including anxiety or PTSD.
You may need physiotherapy, counselling, or other forms of specialist care. A claim can help you access the right support for your recovery.
In more serious cases, you may be awarded general damages for any lasting disability, trauma, or changes to your quality of life.
Let us take the pressure off and help you move forward with confidence.
Making a claim is easy. Here’s what to do:

If a vehicle was involved, ensure the accident is reported to the police and obtain an incident number.
Our team will assess your case and guide you through the process on a no-win, no-fee basis.

You may still be eligible for compensation under split liability, where the fault is shared between two parties. Your compensation may be reduced based on your level of responsibility, but you can still claim
For claims involving an uninsured driver, we can look at recovering funds via the Motor Insurer’s Bureau.
For hit-and-run incidents, if the driver cannot be traced, we would need to discuss your specific options.
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.
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.

Most claims are settled outside of court, but if liability is disputed, your case may go to trial. Our experienced solicitors will support you every step of the way.
You can still claim if the accident worsened existing conditions. Our solicitors will help prove how the accident affected you.
