Lorry Accident Claims

Starting a claim is straightforward. Simply contact Claim Time Solicitors for a free consultation, where we listen to what happened, assess your injuries, and confirm whether you have a valid claim. If your case is eligible, we begin gathering essential evidence such as medical reports, driver information, tachograph data, photographs, CCTV footage and witness statements to build the foundations of a strong case.

Once the evidence has been collected, we prepare and submit your claim to the responsible driver, employer or insurer. From that point, we handle all communication on your behalf, negotiate for the best outcome, and keep you updated throughout the process so you can focus entirely on your recovery.

Lorry accident injury claims involve seeking compensation for injuries caused by collisions with HGVs or commercial vehicles. These claims may include serious physical injuries, psychological trauma, and long-term care needs.
Claim Time Solicitors specialise in handling complex lorry accident injury claims and ensuring victims receive fair compensation and ongoing support.

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to start your lorry accident claim. This is the standard time limit set under the Limitation Act 1980 and applies to adults who have suffered injuries as a result of another party’s negligence.

There are some exceptions. If the injured person was under 18 at the time of the accident, the three-year time limit begins on their 18th birthday. If someone lacks the mental capacity to manage their legal affairs, the limitation period may be paused altogether. If you’re unsure which rule applies to your situation, our solicitors can review your case and confirm your eligibility during a free consultation.

Yes. Many lorry accidents are caused by vehicles that were not properly maintained, had mechanical defects or were carrying overloaded or unsecured cargo. Haulage companies and employers have a strict legal duty to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy, regularly inspected, and safely loaded. When they fail to meet these safety standards, accidents can occur, and injured road users may be entitled to compensation.

If poor maintenance or unsafe loading contributed to your accident, we will investigate the circumstances thoroughly. This includes reviewing inspection records, maintenance logs, weight checks and company procedures to identify any breaches of duty. By gathering the right evidence, we can establish responsibility and build a strong claim on your behalf.

The compensation you may be entitled to depends on the severity of your injuries, how long your recovery takes, and how the accident has affected your work and daily life. Claims can include pain and suffering, medical treatment, lost earnings, and future care needs.

At Claim Time Solicitors, we assess every case individually to ensure your compensation reflects the full impact of the accident.

There is no fixed amount you should ask for in a settlement. The correct value depends on medical evidence, financial losses, and long-term effects of your injuries.

We at Claim Time Solicitors calculate a fair and realistic settlement figure based on UK court guidelines and our experience with similar lorry accident cases.

Compensation for stress and anxiety depends on how serious the psychological impact is and how it affects your daily life. With proper medical evidence, psychological injuries such as anxiety or trauma can form part of a personal injury claim.

At Claim Time Solicitors, we work with medical professionals to ensure these injuries are properly assessed and included.

In most personal injury cases, including lorry accidents, you have three years from the date of the accident to start a claim. This time limit is set under the Limitation Act 1980.

Claim Time Solicitors can quickly check whether you are still within this timeframe during a free consultation.

You may qualify for compensation if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence and suffered physical, psychological, or financial loss. This can include road accidents, workplace incidents, or public transport accidents.

We review the circumstances of your case to confirm eligibility before you proceed.

Yes. Lorry accident claims can often be made against a haulage company if the driver was working at the time or if poor vehicle maintenance, overloading, or unsafe working practices contributed to the accident.
At Claim Time Solicitors, we investigate employers, operators, and insurers to identify who is legally responsible.
