The role of a medical expert in a car accident claim

Car accident compensation is available for people who have suffered a personal injury in a non-fault accident. You may have been the driver of a car, a passenger, on a motorbike or even a pedestrian. If your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence, we can help you make a claim.

Wheels At Once help people who have been involved in car accidents make claims for a range of injuries, from whiplash, cuts and bruises, to more serous injuries including, head injury, back injury, spinal cord injury and brain injury.

Our service is totally cost-free and risk-free. You are protected from costs at all time. See no win, no fee for more information...

Seek urgent medical attention
If you have been injured in a car accident you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, via your GP or A&E department of your nearest hospital. Injuries that may not always be apparent at the time of the car accident, can develop quickly over the following hours and days. This is especially the case with whiplash injury – a common injury in a rear end accident. See whiplash injury for more information...

As well as ensuring you get the best possible treatment for your injuries, it will help your personal injury claim if there are medical records of your injuries following the car accident.

The role of the medical expert in your car accident claim
If you instruct Wheels At Once to help you make a claim, we will arrange for you to see an independent medical expert (approximately 3 months following the accident). We will ask them to provide a medical report regarding the extent of your injuries, your recovery and any on-going or long-term symptoms you may have.

This report will provide independent evidence to support your claim and to help our solicitor put a realistic figure on your personal injury compensation. We will ask you to keep a daily personal injury diary, which you should take with you to any appointments you have with the medical expert.
