Who do we represent?
We act for drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians who have suffered significant injuries as a result of another person’s negligence on the road. Every road user owes a duty of care to those around them. When someone breaches that duty and causes you avoidable harm, you may be entitled to compensation.
We have experience with all types of car accident claims, including those involving serious and life-altering injuries. We will work tirelessly to ensure that you have early access to the rehabilitation you need and receive the maximum compensation.
Can I make a claim?
Not every road traffic accident gives rise to a personal injury claim. The incident must have been caused, either wholly or in part, by someone else’s negligence. That could be another driver who pulled out without looking, a motorist who was driving too fast, a vehicle that failed to stop at a red light, or any number of other situations where a road user’s conduct fell below the standard required by law.
If you are unsure whether your situation gives rise to a claim, speak to us. We will give you an honest opinion, free of charge.
How much compensation will I receive?
The amount of compensation you can expect to recover depends on a number of factors unique to your case. They include the nature of your injuries and their severity, their impact on your daily life, and your prognosis.
A road traffic accident claim covers several distinct heads of loss, including:
- Compensation for your injuries to cover your pain and suffering
- Loss of earnings, including any income you have already lost and any reduction in your future earning capacity
- Expenses incurred, such as physiotherapy, psychological treatment, car hire, and vehicle repair or replacement costs
- Compensation for loss of amenities of life, reflecting the impact your injuries have had on your ability to enjoy the activities, relationships, and daily routines you had before the accident.
We can help you identify and evidence every element of your loss. We work with a team of highly respected medical consultants who carry out thorough injury assessments to make certain that you are not undercompensated.
Why choose LMK Law?
If you have been injured in a no-fault car accident, choosing the right solicitor can have a significant impact on the outcome of your claim.
When you choose LMK Law to help and guide you through the car accident claims process, you can be sure of receiving:
Top quality legal advice
At LMK Law, we are specialist personal injury solicitors. Personal injury law is central to our practice, and that depth of focus is reflected in our results. We are the highest-rated personal injury lawyers in the area, and we have built that reputation over more than three decades through straightforward advice and outcomes our clients can rely on.
Support and reassurance
We pride ourselves on building close working relationships with our clients. We understand that legal processes can feel unfamiliar and overwhelming, particularly when you are recovering from injury. We communicate clearly, making sure you understand exactly where you stand, what the next steps are in your case, and what you can reasonably expect at the end of it.
We also offer full multilingual support in both English and Polish, so if Polish is your first language, you can discuss every aspect of your case with us in the language you are most comfortable with.
Expert mental health support
Road traffic accidents have not only physical consequences. Trauma, recurring nightmares, severe anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder are all recognised outcomes of serious collisions, and they are just as much a part of your claim as a broken bone or a spinal injury. Many clients who come to us have been living with these symptoms for months without knowing that help is available, and without understanding that they are entitled to have that help paid for.
We work with a leading, trusted psychotherapist, to whom we refer clients who are experiencing mental health issues for private treatment at no cost to them. This means that you get help when you need it. Early intervention can make a huge difference to a patient’s ongoing mental health, and NHS waiting lists for specialist psychological support can exceed two years in Northern Ireland. Through our referral network, clients can access treatment within weeks, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Exposure Therapy. These are evidence-based treatments with strong clinical records for trauma following road accidents. The cost of that treatment is recovered as part of your overall claim.
100% of your compensation
We work alongside a team of highly respected barristers to build the strongest possible case on your behalf. We have one clear aim: to recover every pound of the settlement you are entitled to. When your claim succeeds, the legal costs are recovered from the other side. You keep 100% of your compensation.
The upshot is that, while solicitors in Northern Ireland are not permitted to offer no win, no fee arrangements, your compensation is not reduced to pay our costs. We assess each case honestly, and we will only advise you to proceed where there is a genuine and reasonable prospect of success.
A replacement vehicle
If you are involved in a no-fault accident, you should not be left without transport while your car is assessed or repaired. We can arrange for one of our qualified engineers to inspect your vehicle and produce an independent report on the damage. Where you need alternative transport, we can arrange a replacement car for you at no upfront cost; the other driver’s insurer will cover the hire charges. We manage the whole process on your behalf, so you do not have the added pressure of arranging alternative transport at what is already a stressful time.
