Zen Law Solicitors Road Traffic Accident Small Claims Limit Increase
The increase in the road traffic accident claim limit is part of a package of reforms announced in the Civil Liability Act 2018. Among the reforms is a new online portal through which all RTA claims will be managed - removing the opportunity for claimants to instruct legal representation.
Manchester, United Kingdom, May 14, 2021 --(PR.com)-- The Small Claims limit for road traffic accident claims is increasing. From 31st May, the limit for small injury claims is increasing from £1,000 to £5,000. This means that the small claims court will now handle road traffic accident claims with an injury value under £5,000 - and claimants will have to pursue their own claim.
The increase in the road traffic accident claim limit is part of a package of reforms announced in the Civil Liability Act 2018. Among the reforms is a new online portal through which all RTA claims will be managed - removing the opportunity for claimants to instruct legal representation.
Why the increase matters
The increased limit now means that more individuals may choose to pursue a claim themselves, using the new online portal. However, as lay Litigants in Person (LIP’s) it could potentially mean an under-settlement. On the contrary, even if a solicitor makes a deduction from the Damages obtained, it could be advantageous for claimants to choose to use a solicitor.
Why you should consider using a solicitor for a small road traffic accident claim
- Solicitors have a deeper understanding of the claims system and what claimants could be entitled to based on their injuries.
- Each personal injury claim is different, and solicitors are best placed to handle the intricacies of each case.
- Solicitors can ensure you are awarded compensation for all injuries you receive - while managing multiple injury claims via the portal could be more difficult.
- The "value" of an injury varies from case to case and a solicitor can advise you how much you could claim.
- They can circumvent any arguments used by insurers to achieve settlement.
