Whether you’ve been involved as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Who Is Eligible to Make a Claim?
If you’ve been injured in a road accident through no fault of your own, you may be eligible to make a claim. However, eligibility can depend on several factors, such as:
- Fault: If another party is responsible for the accident, you’re likely eligible for compensation.
- Uninsured drivers: If the other driver was uninsured, you can still pursue a claim through alternative routes like the Motor Insurers’ Bureau.
- Hit-and-run accidents: You can also file a claim for compensation, even if the responsible driver cannot be identified.

Do I Need to Go to Court?
In most cases, road traffic accident claims are resolved without the need for court involvement.

Pearl Lemon Legal will represent you and guide you through alternative methods such as mediation, should court be necessary.
