Accident Line

CR0 2BX
Helpline: 0800 19 29 39
Web: www.accidentlinedirect.co.uk
Best time to telephone: 8.30am - 8.00pm, Monday - Friday; 10.00am - 4.00pm, Saturday & Sunday.
The Accident Line scheme was launched in 1994. It helps those who have been involved in an accident, where someone or something else is to blame, claim compensation for their injuries. The accident must have occurred within the last three years although there are exceptions in the case of children and work injuries.
All participating solicitors (approximately 3000 throughout England and Wales) offer a free initial consultation. During this time clients will be told if there is a claim and, if so, how it can be financed - that is by conditional fees, legal aid, or pay as you go. The client is under no obligation to take the matter further if they decide not to.
To ensure a top quality service, only firms with specialist expertise are allowed to offer the free Accident Line consultations.
