Suggestions made in September 2009 by the Ministry of Justice to make the process of making a low cost road traffic accident claim simpler and quicker have been announced and new regulations are about to be introduced. At the end of April this year, new regulations will take effect with the aim of speeding up the entire process. For those victims who would normally have to wait several months to find out the outcome of their accident claim, this is fantastic news. Now that the new regulations will ensure they are compensated as early as possible, they will be able to move on from the accident.

Under the new system, the road traffic accident claim payout is made to the victim as early as possible.In the past, victims often struggled financially as a result of having to miss work due to their injuries. Now, under the new rules, they will receive the compensation to which they’re entitled more quickly, eliminating financial strain.

The new, simplified process means that the victim is less stressed.Now, solicitors and insurers will have to use a web portal to share information relating to the claim, which will allow for fast and secure transfer of information.

In the past, it could take several months just to establish liability.However, the new regulations give fixed time limits for establishing liability and compensation. As a result a claim can now be approved within just one month of liability being established.

The regulations will be used for any road traffic accident claim worth between one and ten thousand pounds. The Ministry of Justice believes that the new procedure, with its fixed cost structure and rigid time frames will be of benefit to the victims.The main reasons why it would benefit victims are the reduction in waiting time and the simplicity of the accident claim procedure which would reduce stress on victims at an already traumatic time.
