....What Can You Claim For?
This very much depends on the injury you sustained but as a general guide you can claim for:
-
pain and suffering
-
wage loss sustained as a result of the accident
-
future wage loss where you are unable to work as a result of the accident
-
out of pocket expenses such as: prescription charges, mileage to and from hospital and doctor appointments
-
any excess on your insurance policy
-
care and assistance from relatives who have helped you following on from the accident.
-
any hire vehicle - please check with your insurance company before you pay out on any hire for a car as you may be entitled to a courtesy car.
Hire Car
There is a great temptation to hire a car which is much better than your own but be careful, as you could end up having to pay a lot more to drive the car of your dreams.
For example you if own a Fiat Punto and have always wanted to drive a BMW then you will only be able to recover the money for a hire car that is like your own and that is hired for a reasonable period of time.
For example it would most probably be deemed unreasonable to hire a car for 6 months.
The best piece of advice is to err on the side of caution.
