At Fault Claims

If you believe you are responsible for an accident, you may have more options than you think. Many people assume fault is clear-cut—it’s either your fault or it’s not. While that can be true, there are cases where liability is shared.
This is called a “split in liability,” where fault for the accident is divided between you and the other driver, for example, 50/50 or 70/30. At Khan Law, we carefully assess the details of your accident to achieve the best possible outcome. For example, we recently represented a client who was initially blamed entirely for an accident after exiting a slipway. We were able to settle his case on a 70/30 basis, meaning he was 70% responsible and still entitled to claim compensation.
At Khan Law, we are dedicated to helping you claim the compensation you deserve. We know that for many clients, this might be their first time making a claim, which is why we take the time to explain everything clearly to make your experience as smooth as possible. We’ve even outlined our process below, so you can see how we’ll assist you step by step.
We handle all cases on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, so you won’t have to pay unless we win your case! We will also provide expert advice on any offers we receive on your behalf, ensuring you get the best possible result. At Khan Law, our goal is to make claiming compensation as simple and stress-free as possible. We’ll handle everything, so you won’t have to go out of your way.
