SHOULD I CLAIM AGAINST MY DRIVER?

Many people are understandably are hesitant in claiming against their driver, especially if the person is a friend or family, but the main thing to keep in mind is that the insurance company of the driver will deal with the claim in full.

You are technically claiming against the driver but it is the insurance company who pay out the damages.

If you have suffered injury and or losses as a result of an accident then we will always advise you to make a claim as that is your legal right.

WHAT IF MY DRIVER WAS AT FAULT FOR THE ACCIDENT?

Not all accidents are straightforward and when another driver is at fault then a claim would be made against that person and his or her insurers.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that when the passengers in a vehicle are involved in an accident, the passengers cannot make a claim against their driver. This is not correct and the fact of the matter is that passengers can make a claim against their driver as they were the innocent party; their claim should be dealt in full.

Contact Versus Law

I AM NOT SURE WHO WAS AT FAULT, WHO SHOULD I CLAIM AGAINST?

Initially a claim can be submitted against the other driver if it is not known who is at fault.

If the other driver’s insurance company does not deal with the claim, then on a without prejudice basis a passengers claim can be submitted against the driver of the vehicle where the passenger was sat.

It is not necessary to blame the driver for the vehicle for the accident but a claim can be submitted to the driver’s insurance company to ask them to deal with the claim on a without prejudice basis (without blame) as you were the innocent passenger.

The passengers can have their claim dealt with even if fault cannot be established between the two vehicles as the passenger was the innocent party.

Contact Versus Law

WHAT IF THE OTHER DRIVER DOES NOT ACCEPT FAULT?

In certain cases, you will get both parties disputing liability. In this instance, Versus Law will carry out an in-depth investigation to determine who is at fault. If necessary we will contact any witnesses to support your claim if we believe you are not responsible. Even if the accident was PARTLY your fault, then don’t worry, you may still have a claim

Contact Versus Law

I WASN’T WEARING A SEAT BELT, CAN I STILL CLAIM?

Not wearing a seat belt, does not mean you are not able to claim.

You are still entitled to make a claim but the insurers may make a reduction to your damages ranging from 15-25% depending on the level of injury suffered and the circumstances of the claim.

Contact Versus Law

WHAT IF THE VEHICLE WAS STOLEN?

If an accident happens and the vehicle had been stolen at the time of the collision, then you can still claim for your losses.

The possible situations are as follows:

Vehicle is stolen, but it was insured, the culprit not found = MIB UNTRACED
Vehicle is stolen, but it was insured, the culprit found = insurance company will deal with the claim
Vehicle stolen, not insured, the culprit found = MIB UNINSURED

Contact Versus Law

WHAT IF THE OTHER DRIVER WAS NOT INSURED OR CANNOT BE LOCATED?

In the case of a Road Traffic Accident; when making a claim against another driver, in most cases, they will be insured and we would make a claim against their insurers. However, a significant amount of drivers are uninsured or cannot be traced and in this instance, we would make a claim to the Motors Insurance Bureau (MIB). The MIB was set up to compensate victims of untraced and uninsured drivers. So don’t let this hold you back from making a claim.

Contact Versus Law

WHAT SHALL I DO IF AN INSURER CONTACTS ME DIRECTLY / OR MAKES AN OFFER OF SETTLEMENT?

If an insurance company contacts you direct or any other company other than us wanting to discuss your claim then please pass them our details and hang up.

Insurers try to contact clients direct and attempt to severely under settle claims in the hope a client will be tempted with the offer.

We will make sure your compensation reflects the level of damage you have suffered and based on past experiences, the offer made by the insurers is ALWAYS beaten significantly by us when a client takes our advice.

Contact Versus Law

WILL YOU ARRANGE TREATMENT FOR ME?

If you require treatment, such as physiotherapy or CBT for psychological injury, chiropractor etc then we can arrange the treatment for you to assist your recovery.

The treatment provided to you will be paid for by the Defendant insurers therefore you will not need to worry about the cost.

Contact Versus Law

I HAVE HAD TWO ACCIDENTS CLOSE TOGETHER, CAN I STILL CLAIM?

Yes you can as long as the second accident either made the original injuries worse or there were different injuries in the second accident.

Versuslaw especially Anita Craig helped so kindly from 2018 for pia delay flight claim which was showing possible but Ms Anita Craig proved it again that versus law can do it. Thank you will use again and recommend 100percent.
R Nabi

We have just completed on a buy and sell having used Versus Law for both sides of the transaction.
Versus Law have been immense throughout, with the Conveyancer looking after our ‘purchase’ working hand in hand with his colleagues to keep us informed of how the ‘sell’ was progressing too.
Amazing bunch of people. There should be more firms providing this high level of service.
B Keane

Very professional and up to the task
I found versus law straight forward and very helpful.
K Boon

i recently completed on a property and was guided really well by Katrina and Lisa. Ive never purchased a property before so really didn’t know what was involved. It was easy and seamless no stress at all followed by a price that was so much cheaper than other quotes I’d had
M Rehman

Having had my PIA flight delayed for over 5 hours.. Anita Craig of versus law solicitors was a great help. Every step was made easy for me to understand and I will definitely be recommending yourselves to family and friends.
J Nugent

They made the whole process of my injury claim
simple and straight forward, They even managed to get
me my compensation before Christmas which I wasn’t expecting, A big thanks to Kulbinder Mehay
Steven P

Excellent work, thank you.
Liz

Nicola Nolan and Natalie Moylan are an excellent conveyancing team. We have used them more than once and recommend them to friends and family (who were also impressed). This time they were involved in us buying a property in Wales and kept us informed all the way through, even with covid restrictions causing problems. They are friendly, efficient and get the job done in a no-nonsense way which is what you need. They take the stress out of conveyancing for you. Very impressed and would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Gem

I was selling my home which had a complicated title and versus law was recommended to me. Natalie Moylan handled my case from start to finish and I couldn’t ask for anyone better! There were no obstacles that couldn’t be overcome and in a very fast turn around too. The sale completed in no time at all. Natalie was timely, professional and friendly and an absolute pleasure to have on my side. I would strongly recommend Versus law to anyone.
Bonnie

I have used the services of Nicola Nolan at Versus Law twice this year and was instantly put at ease and very impressed with the help received and the outcome achieved. Would recommend without hesitation
Daniel

I called to get some documents certified, the ladies on reception were so helpful. I am very happy with the service I received and will use Versus Law again.
M

Dealt with my flight claim hassle free and super quick, I was continuously updated every step of the way and overall really pleased with the outcome. A personal thank you to Anita as she couldn’t have made it easier for me and saw through any problems I had!
Richard

I purchased my first home in February, and used Versus as my solicitor. I dealt with Natalie Moylan from start to finish, who was excellent throughout. The purchase ended up being delayed and resulted in a quite hectic finish, but Natalie remained calm and professional at all times, whilst providing a very high quality of work. My thanks to Natalie and her team, for making a long purchase so much easier!
C Savage

We were selling our house (through Nick) and buying a house (through Natalie) and I can honestly say these are the best solicitors we’ve ever used (we had always used ones in London previously). They both kept us informed on a regular basis as to how things were progressing which I really valued and they were quick to respond to any queries I asked. They were professional, efficient, helpful and really nice to deal with. We were recommended Versus through local friends that have used them previously and I would definitely recommend Versus to anyone else asking me for a recommendation.
Thanks again Natalie and Nick.
J Percy

We used Nicola Nolan for our purchase/transfer of ownership. She was excellent from start to finish. We were fully informed of the process throughout and she was always friendly, approachable and very professional at all times. Would definitely recommend her at Versus Law. Thank you again
J Guntren

Amazing law firm for conveyancing!! My wife and I made an offer on a house 24th September and we were moved in by 20th December. It should also be noted that we were selling my wife’s apartment at the same time (also using Versus), further complicating everything. Thanks to Natalie, everything was done in a very efficient manner and she was very understanding of our situation.
P Godfrey

Many thanks to Anita and all the staff at Versuslaw, they made my flight compensation claim for delay a breeze. I would highly recommend them
G Ryder

Thanks again to Nicola, Nick and Francine

J Williams

From the moment we rung Versus Law and spoke to the receptionist on the phone to the moment we completed on our first home, Versus Law were excellent. Our solicitor was Tom and not only did he keep us updated every step of the way but he was very professional, efficient, offered valuable advice and made the process of buying a house stress free. We couldn’t recommend Versus Law enough and we just wanted to say a huge thank you to Tom and the team. Joe and Kara
S Foster

Sarah handled my claim quickly and efficiently. It made the whole process easy and stress free. She was very professional and kept me informed every step. I would highly recommend Versuslaw.
H Cooper

We would highly recommend Versus law, especially Nick Wintrip (selling) and Nicola Nolan (buying). They both kept us up to date throughout the whole process. They were easy to get hold of and were very prompt to answer any questions/email. We would have no hesitation in recommending Versus law for conveyancing.
I Asaf

Fantastic service, very helpful and kept me informed at every stage
M Long

From start to finish Versus Law have been professional and helpful. Tom Reid was always available to talk to us and gave us updates regularly meaning we did not have to constantly chase up matters. We are very happy by the service and would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable solicitor.
Jill T

Excellent service. I was kept informed every step of the way. Natalie Moylan and Renee Burke were a pleasure to work with. Highly professional but with a personal touch. They both went above and beyond!
Danielle

Excellent service from start to finish from Nicola and Natalie! Super responsive to emails and all my questions as a first time single buyer. Natalie and Nicola make a great team and are so approachable. Definitely recommend them for property related legal services.
Frankie

Really happy with my experience using versus law, from start to finish they put my mind at ease as I wasn’t buying a house in the normal way, it was through a family divorce and there were time scales and dead lines to meet, versus law managed to conker my mortgage and speed things up to avoid any extra costs, nicola was always there to ease my mind when I had any concerns as things do get stressful whilst purchasing a property, the ladies on the reception we also a delight and couldn’t do more to make you feel comfortable in any situation, if you are thinking of using versus law to assist you through your mortgage then look no further as these guys couldn’t have done more for me, I couldn’t have been happier with my experience
Matt W

Nicola Nolan’s conveyancing service has always been excellent, I have used them several times in the last 5 years. In particular for my business I have found their relationship and understanding of Paragon Bank to be very useful. I would highly recommend.
Kay

Excellent decision to go with Versus Law! Nick Wintrip handled the very stressful job of our house sale with professionalism, calmness and a good sense of humour. We did everything via email, phone and post, and he was always quick in responding and keeping me updated every step of the way. Very competitively priced too. I would highly recommend Versus Law without the slightest hesitation.
O Li

Thomas Reid dealt with the sale and purchase of our properties. He was a pleasure to work with – very quick to respond to queries and very efficient in his work. As a result, the process went very smoothly with minimal delays. I would highly recommend competitively priced Versus Law and especially the professionalism of Thomas Reid.
Mr RS

Natalie Moylan dealt with the sale and purchase on my behalf. The whole process was very well handled with constant updates. The first solicitors I’ve used that’s responds within to an email within an hour! Would 100% use again!!!
Mrs LC

Recently dealt with Nick Wintrip at Versus law when selling my property. Found him to be professional, quick and thorough. Process went smoothly and I was well informed throughout the process. I received regular updates and all enquiries were dealt with efficiently. Nick made the whole process of selling my home stress free and a happy one! Your the best Nick – thank you again 🙂
Will highly recommend Versus Law Solicitors. They are the best

Paula

Great experience working with Versus Law. Excellent level of professionalism from Thomas Reid who provided clear, precise information. Highly recommended from my side. Thanks to Tom and the team.

Fantastic experience with Natalie and her colleagues. Email updates throughout the home buying process, estimates of how long it would take to get her work completed and local knowledge which speeded up the process. 100% recommended.
R Napier

Really good and really helpful got things sorted alot quicker than anticipated very cooperative
Wetherill

What an outstanding team they turned my purchase around within the set time frame and very professional at all times.
They went above and beyond reassured myself throughout the process.
As being a first time buyer I felt this was most important I would recommend them highly.
Nasir

Versus Law dealt with my house sale from start to finish in a most professional manner. A friendly, professional, competent team who get the job done within the time parameters. I highly recommend this firm.
Colin and Yvonne

Absolutely brilliant service as always.
This is the third time using Versuslaw and they never fail to impress. Natalie and Nicola are real diamonds and you really get the sense that they actually care about you.

We actually live in London, but continued to use them for our London property because of our previous experience with them.
Thank you guys, would highly recommend you to anyone.
B Man

Excellent service!!! We are really happy with the service VersusLaw provided to us. Being first time buyer, we dint have much idea about the whole process and had lots of questions. They have given proper and clear response on time to everything we have requested. For us, one of the property got cancelled in between the process because the owner decided to not to sell that property few days after accepting our offer. Though there were searches and procedures done already for that property VersusLaw did not ask Fee for that purchase as they understood the difficult situation we were in. When we found our next property, we had no doubt whom to contact. We are really happy and totally satisfied by the service Nicola, Natalie and their team offered. We will highly recommend your service to anyone,
Ross Grant

Today I have completed on the purchase of my very first apartment, and it just wouldn’t have been possible without the INCREDIBLE knowledge, guidance and GENUINE care of Nicola, Natalie, and the entire Versus Law team.

This purchase was far from straightforward, with lots of potential pitfalls – all navigated with professionalism, patience and an impeccable attention to detail by Nicola.

Nic went well above and beyond the call of duty to look into some extremely complex accounts and repair budgets to the apartment block in question – something I would have completely overlooked.

As a result, with her guidance, I managed to negotiate a £2,000 reduction in asking price – something I’m sure other solicitors would have let slip through the net.

That’s a genuine £2000 saving – a lot of money for a first-time buyer.

You get a real sense that these guys actually CARE – they make you feel more like a friend, than a client – and don’t leave a stone unturned when it comes to conveyancing. If there is anything to uncover on a property, trust me, Nicola will find it!

In essence, Versus Law made what could have been a rather stressful situation, easy and straightforward.

Communications and response times were brilliant, with daily updates coming via phone and email – and I never felt rushed by anyone when I had queries.

I honestly cannot recommend Versus Law enough.

I’m going to pick up the keys to my apartment now – and won’t be using anyone other than these guys for all future property purchases/ sales.

THANK YOU SO MUCH Versus Law – I’ll be raising a glass of champagne to you all at the housewarming! 🙂
CW

Great service provided by Nicola and her team.
Always communicating with updates for the completion of my property.
Would highly recommend
Jackie

I used Versus Law to buy my first house. Had no idea how it worked but I must say that the conveyancing team held my hand all the way through. On the day of completion there was a delay and they stayed in office late to ensure it went through so I wasn’t waiting over the weekend. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Versus Law and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It was nice to speak to people who I felt cared for me and put my interests first at all times. Thank you so much for your help
Andy

Versus were great to deal with when they provided the conveyancing for my house purchase. I was able to complete the process without needing to physically travel to their offices and my solicitor was always available for any questions when I was completing all the paperwork. Everyone was very friendly to speak to.
T Baguley

Fantastic conveyancing service from Nicola and Natalie, they kept on top of everything from start to finish and were always available whenever we had questions. I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone.
David JC

Very impressed with every aspect of Versus Law, from service they provide to the attitude of the staff. Always called back when they said they would and had a laugh with them too. Will definately use again (if I need to).
Mrs Morris

I would recommend Versus Law to anyone, particularly Nick Wintrip, who looked after us extremely well. They are very efficient and communicated with us fully at all times. We were able to contact them by phone and e mail and did not need to rely on letter going back and forth. Nick is really friendly too and put us at ease throughout the end to end sales process. Thank you.
Tanita

Nicola and Natalie did a wonderful job. They were friendly and patient. Answered my many many questions and got the job done very efficiently. I am highly impressed and would definitely recommend them.
