Vehicle damage only claims

If your vehicle has been damaged in an accident on the road (and there are no personal injuries), you may wish to claim compensation for the costs in repairing the vehicle or replacing it in the event of a “write off”.

If you have Comprehensive insurance then your own insurers will take care of the vehicle claim for you and then seek to recover the costs from any liable party. You may lose your no claims bonus until the money is actually recovered.

You may have third party fire and theft or third party only cover. In which case your insurers will not be willing to assist you with your vehicle claim. You will be forced to make your claim directly against the other party.

Unfortunately it may be very difficult to have a solicitor act on your behalf if you are seeking property only damage. The reason for this is that your solicitors can only recover their legal costs on property claims that exceed £5000. This is the current “small claims” limit in England & Wales.

We may be able to help you with your property damage claim. Please call us for assistance or general advice.
