What should I do if I have an RTA?
If you are injured ensure you seek medical treatment either from your GP or go to hospital.
If possible get names and addresses of any witnesses and drivers; take any photographs and ensure you know where the accident took place.
Often the police do not attend scenes of road traffic collisions (road traffic accidents); when they do, the information they gather is ‘theirs’ and will not always be released for a civil action, so it is always useful to record as much information as possible yourself.
If you are injured and hospitalised and it is not possible to do this, or you are involved in a hit & run and the other party doesn't declare their details; or it is due to a collision with an emergency vehicle or uninsured driver you will may still be eligible to claim.
