Everything You Need To Know About Travel Expenses

Here, there are two categories of compensation, and travel expenses fall into the ‘special damages’ category, which refers to financial losses incurred due to the circumstances resulting from your personal injury.

Claiming For Travel Expenses

It is possible to claim for travel expenses, as long as the expenses are reasonable and not excessive. The travel expenses must relate to journeys taken because of the accident. Tinsdills can help you claim for travel expenses relating to your accident and personal injury.

There are a variety of travel expenses which may arise due to your injury. For example, you may need to visit the hospital, your GP, or another medical professional for treatment and appointments. If you have to stay in hospital it is often possible to claim for journeys taken by your immediate relatives to visit you.

In all cases however, you need to be able to prove that the journey taken was necessary, and directly because of your accident.

Normally, you can claim for the fare you paid if using public transport, such as bus or train tickets, and if travelling by car, the standard rate is usually 45p per mile in addition to parking costs.

All of these costs can be claimed back, but it is important to remember they must be necessary and directly because of your accident.
