No - our service is free of charge, win or lose*. The law allows a person who has sustained injury as a result of the fault of someone else to pursue a claim with complete peace of mind, knowing that they will not have to pay anything out, if their case is lost, and they will be entitled to keep their compensation if their case is successful. The opponent's insurers will pay our fees if your claim is successful. If your claim fails there is no charge to our clients.

Yes, in the vast majority of cases.** A small proportion of clients may not end up with 100% of their payout. One such exception would be if you were injured in a road accident abroad.

In short no. There are many accident management companies marketing across Britain who claim to be experts in personal injury litigation. Most of these companies simply sell cases they obtain to solicitors for a fee. They are not ‘experts' at all - the standard of service received by clients is often poor and clients have been left under-compensated and, very often, out of pocket. The two largest claims management companies in recent years, Claims Direct and The Accident Group, who have both ceased trading required their clients to take out loan agreements which very often ate into their damages award or left them out of pocket.

If you want to obtain the appropriate amount of compensation, it is important your solicitor has niche knowledge of the area of law involved in your individual case. Our team only specialise in personal injury litigation and we are here to help you.

Yes. European Union Legislation guarantees your right as a client to instruct a solicitor of your own choice. We would always recommend choosing a specialist firm with a dedicated road accident team who have the necessary experience to handle your claim.

Yes. We believe that personal injury claims should not be dealt with on the telephone or through form filling. For that reason we guarantee a home visit by one of our experienced solicitors - not an unqualified claims investigator. Because we deal with clients face-to-face we can usually only assist people who live in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Humberside.

It's hard to accurately predict, without knowing the details of your case but many straightforward cases are settled within 12 months. Complex, high value and serious injury cases may take two to three years, depending on the ability of medical experts to provide a definitive prognosis. We always settle our claims as rapidly as we can and will keep you informed every step of the way.

Without detailed medical evidence it is normally impossible to estimate the value of a case. The choice of medical expert is key, as is the work carried out by the solicitor in investigating and assessing the various heads of claim. Other important factors include the severity of your injuries, taking into account your loss of earnings, and the impact of your injury on your quality of life.

Yes. We can pursue a claim for future and past loss of earnings, the cost of medical care, the additional time that friends of members of your family are required to spend caring or carrying out household chores for the injured person, along with any other financial losses or expenditure directly linked to an accident.

Even if you think you were to blame, you may still be entitled to compensation as an investigation into an accident often reveals that someone else was at least partly to blame. Call us about your case on our freephone line 0800 163 622 or get in touch via our quick enquiry form.

Yes, but a court will consider what you knew about the ability of the driver to drive safely when awarding a compensation settlement. We have the expertise to help you make a claim in these circumstances so call us to discuss your case on our freephone line 0800 163 622 or get in touch via our quick enquiry form.

Yes - if the accident was not your fault, you will still be entitled to compensation. However, the amount you receive may be reduced if it is found wearing a seatbelt would have resulted in less severe injuries.

Yes. If the driver did not have insurance but the vehicle he was driving was insured, the vehicle's insurance company must deal with your claim. If neither the driver or vehicle was insured, your claim will be dealt with by the Motor Insurers' Bureau Uninsured Driver Agreement.

Yes, in many such circumstances you can claim compensation through the Motor Insurers' Bureau Untraced Driver's Agreement. Unfortunately this is not always possible and the amount awarded is limited, but we can help you with your case. Simply call our freephone line 0800 163 622 or get in touch via our quick enquiry form.

By law, you must begin your claim within three years of your accident. We would recommend seeking expert advice sooner rather than later. Claims for children and those incapable of managing their own affairs can be started outside the three year period, and the Court can allow for certain other exceptions outside the three year limit.

In most cases no, as they are settled out of court. However, if the other driver's insurer denies responsibility it may be necessary for you to appear in court. Our expert team would support you and arrange to be represent you in court if this need arises.

"I would like to personally thank ASD and in particular Richard and Chris for all their advice and assistance. Without ASD I would not have been able to bring a claim and put the record straight."
