How to get compensation after a road accident

It's important to document what has happened in order to get the compensation you are entitled to after a road accident.

• Take photos: At the scene of the accident, try to secure evidence and witness statements if you are able to do so. Get names, phone numbers and addresses of witnesses. Take photos with your phone of vehicles and surroundings, or get others to do so.
• Seek medical attention: You should contact your GP or another doctor. It is very important that any symptoms following a road traffic accident are thoroughly documented in your medical records.
• Contact your insurance company: Report the accident to your insurance company if you or others are injured. You should also notify even if you are unsure whether you are injured. If not, you may miss out on compensation.
• Take care of your receipts: It is important that you keep all receipts for expenses you have incurred as a result of the traffic accident. These could be receipts for expenses for treatment, co-payments, travelling to and from treatment or NAV.

If you are injured in a road traffic accident, you should contact a lawyer who is an expert in road traffic injuries. The insurance company is obliged to pay your reasonable and necessary legal fees.
