You have been hit by a car. You are requesting compensation

 

If you have been injured in a traffic accident, whether you are a pedestrian, a cyclist or a passenger in a car - but not a driver - you are entitled to compensation. fast. The insurer of the person responsible for the accident must submit an offer of compensation to you within eight months of the accident. Otherwise, he incurs penalties (articles L. 211-13 and L. 211-9 of the Insurance Code), which you can remind him of in a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt. After the accident has been declared, the insurer of the person responsible for it will contact you to put together your file and obtain a certain amount of information about you. Do not delay in putting together this file: the compensation offer will only be faster. If the insurer is late in contacting you, send them a letter asking them to be compensated. If a medical examination is carried out, you have the right - and even interest - to be assisted by a doctor of your choice.

 

recommended letter with receipt note

 

Dear,

 

On (date of accident) I was involved in a traffic accident in which I was injured. This accident was registered with your company under the number (reference).

 

While I returned the documents you requested from me on time, I still have not, to date, received your offer of compensation.

 

I remind you that, under Article L. 211-13 of the Insurance Code, when this offer has not been made within the allotted time (i.e. eight months from the accident), the amount of the he indemnity produces automatic interest at double the legal interest rate.

 

I therefore await a quick proposal from you.

 

Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of my best regards.
