MOTORHOME AND CARAVAN ACCIDENT

If you have a caravan accident your entitlement to compensation is just the same as that of any other road user, however the practical and legal issues are often significantly different.

Whether you own a caravan or a motorhome, it is likely the purpose you use it for is to go on holiday. When a car or motorcycle is damaged in a road traffic accident, the usual issue is transport to work or for domestic journeys but caravans and motorhomes are used for a completely different purpose.

Compensation following an accident will be different, as you will not only need to repair or replace it, but your holiday is likely to be significantly affected. Compensation must therefore be obtained for the extra costs of that holiday, and any other holidays affected along with the substantial affect the incident has to the holiday itself. It is not just a case of removing a few personal possessions from a car and hiring a replacement car whilst yours is being repaired. The reason you own your caravan or motorhome is to provide you with a specific level of holiday enjoyment. It is virtually impossible to put yourself back in that position after an accident.

Further as these vehicles are likely to be used for many road journeys, if as most people do after a road traffic accident you feel nervous about travelling, it can have a much more significant affect on your lifestyle.

In addition to the specific issues general claims can be made including;

Appropriate compensation for your injuries, based on a specialist medical report we obtain for you from one of our expert medico-legal practitioners.
Repair or replacement costs on a like for like basis for your vehicle together with any depreciation in value as a result of the repair when you sell it on.
Compensation for the replacement of the large amount of contents likely to be damaged in an accident. We prepare a full schedule of loss for you, based on the depreciated values of all items damaged.
Loss of earnings, including bonuses and lost promotion opportunities.
Other financial outlays for treatment and prescription charges. We can often arrange for you to have private medical treatment at no cost to you.

Motorhome and caravan accident claims tend to be high value claims that require the best possible legal representation to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation you are entitled to.

Often caravan and motorhome insurance provides for legal expense insurance which enables a personal injury claim to be pursued with the benefit of insurance cover. Winston Solicitors are able to act under most legal expense insurance policies. Please provide us with the details and we will take care of the rest. If you do not have legal expense insurance, we will act under a no win no fee arrangement. This means that if you win, the other party’s insurance company will pay all your legal costs, and if you lose you pay nothing. Either way your claim will not cost you a penny.

If we represent you there are no middlemen, no loans and no other costs for you to pay. Your claim is completely risk free. If you have been injured in a road traffic accident whilst caravanning or driving a motorhome, let us obtain the compensation you deserve.
