Can I make a No Win No Fee road traffic accident claim in Manchester?
At Slater and Gordon, we understand that the cost of pursuing legal action can seem daunting and restrictive. We don’t believe that anyone should be prevented from pursuing the justice and compensation they deserve due to financial restrictions, which is why most of the road accidents we pursue are done so by way of a No Win No Fee agreement.
Under a No Win No Fee agreement – also known as a conditional fee agreement – you are not required to pay any upfront legal fees to begin a claim and, if for any reason your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t need to cover any of the costs. This means there is never any financial risk to making a claim.
What is the process for making a road traffic accident claim?
Pursing legal action can seem daunting and, at times, the process of claiming road accident compensation can be complex. Our solicitors will be on hand to take you through the process step-by-step, explaining each stage in detail and providing the advice and guidance you need to ensure the best possible outcome for you.
To start a claim, simply get in touch with a member of our team on 0330 041 5869 or using our online form. We’ll ask a few questions to establish the circumstances of your accident and, if we think you have a claim, we can contact the other party’s insurers to start the process.
To ensure your claim is successful, we’ll also collect the evidence we need to support your case. This may include accessing your medical records, liaising with the police and any witnesses, and arranging an independent medical examination.
At every stage, we’ll keep you informed of your claim’s progress, allowing you to focus on your recovery and moving forward with your life.
I have been extremely happy with the help and advice from Sarah Adams at Slater & Gordon Solicitors, she is a credit to the company always kept me well informed with my accident claim which was a very good result. I can certainly recommend Slater & Gordon for an excellent service.

How long do I have to make a road accident claim?
Under UK law, you have three years from the date of your accident to make a road accident claim. There are a few exceptions to this rule; for example, if you were under the age of 18 at the time of the accident, you’ll have three years from the date of your 18th birthday.
Whatever your circumstances, we strongly encourage you speak to a specialist solicitor as soon as possible, as they will be able to advise you of any time limits that may pertain to your case.
How long does the road accident claims process take?
It is hard to say how long a road accident claim will take to process as there are several factors that will influence the timeline. For instance, where liability by the other side is accepted from the outset, the process can be wrapped up much more quickly.
