About non-fault car accident compensation claims

In the UK, the law states that anyone who has been injured in a car accident that was not their fault is entitled to claim compensation for the pain and discomfort they have suffered. This compensation may also include any potential additional costs that they may incur as a direct result of the injury.

If for example your injury leaves you permanently unable to walk properly, your compensation settlement could also include costs for the following:

  • Physiotherapy or other ongoing treatment

  • The cost of adapted vehicles or mobility aids

  • Building modifications to your home to improve accessibility for you

  • Day-to-day living costs if you are no longer able to work



Can you give me an idea of how much compensation I will get?

All compensation settlements are unique to the person concerned, as similar injuries can affect people in different ways. Below provides a list of approximate settlement amounts for common injuries.


  • Whiplash. Minor £500 - Severe £200,000

No need to claim on your insurance

Anyone who has been involved in a road accident has the right to choose who repairs their vehicle. If you were responsible for the accident you were involved in, the company that insures your vehicle would normally deal with your accident claim.

However if you were not at-fault for the accident, you can choose to either claim on your own insurance policy or make a claim independently of your insurer. To find out more call 02392 484 244 and we will be happy to help.

We and our partners help thousands of people make independent accident claims. Our service enables motorists to get the help and assistance they need to resolve their accident related issues, with the costs being recovered directly from the at-fault driver on your behalf.

No excess to pay

Unfortunately even if an accident was not your fault, your insurer will almost certainly require you to pay your excess before any repair is started on your car.

This money should of course be recovered by an insurer at a later date, but with our service - you do not have to pay it at all.

By using our independent claims service, you are not making a claim on your insurance policy and so you will have no excess to pay.

Receive a comparable replacement hire vehicle

Not all insurance policies will include a replacement hire-car for you to use if yours is damaged and unroadworthy. In fact it is typically an 'optional extra' on your policy.

Other policies may offer a 'courtesy car' but this is often just a 'basic' saloon or hatchback which may not be suitable for your needs.

Car Call and its partners will provide a comparable replacement vehicle as part of our service. This means we will endeavour to supply a hire-vehicle that similar to your own in terms of its type, make and engine size.

So whether you drive a small hatchback or a prestige sports car, we will look to provide a similar hire-vehicle that suits your needs.
