For you to win compensation, it is important that your claim should fulfil the following conditions:
1. Your claim should be valid. This means that the injury you have sustained, and against which you are claiming, should be reasonable. It means that that you cannot win a frivolous road traffic claim for a superficial injury, such as a slight scratch.
2. Your opponent should have been at fault. A road traffic claim is filed by the accident victim, against the person whose mistake caused the accident. You will not win any compensation unless you prove that your opponent was at fault.
3. Your claim should be backed by evidence. Yours winning compensation will depend on how far you can provide evidence related to the circumstances of the accident and the exact loss you suffered. Just your word is not enough-you will need to submit relevant evidence in the form of doctor's certificates, medical reports, police documents, etc.
4. Your claim should be reasonable. The compensation is meant to reimburse you for the injury you bore. As such, the amount of compensation should be calculated based on your loss, whether in the form physical hurt, mental trauma, or monetary expense. A road traffic claim for an unreasonably high amount is likely to be rejected.
5. Your claim should be timely. The law lays down a specific time limit, following an accident, during which you should file the road traffic claim. A claim made after this period will be rejected.
