I was in a road traffic accident the other day. I was the passenger in my mothers car, she suffered a broken leg in the car accident, the other vehicle smashed into the passenger side and I've broken my collar bone needing surgery to fix it, I had no seatbelt on but it was only a short journey so we didnt think to put one on, but the other party was driving dangerously recklessly.
It was my mum driving she sorted all the details of the person that caused the crash and the police were at the scene and made a report, they said the other persons driving was a danger and then I had to go to hospital so their should be a medical report by the doctor too, still very shaken with the crash so not looking at talking with people just yet, I just need advice on what to do, it was the other drivers fault but I didn't wear my safety belt, but he hit us so hard I am lucky to even be alive and now in agony everyday with the damages to my body, im covered in brusing and swelling and so is my mum.
If the case would have to go to court to claim compensation how much does that cost? And how much compensation could I get for my injuries and the endangerment if the claim pays out? Any help is appreciated Legal Expert
