Road traffic accident claims
A road traffic accident claim is a legal claim for compensation following an injury caused by another road user’s negligence. This may include careless or dangerous driving, speeding, failure to observe road signs, driving while distracted, driving under the influence, or failing to maintain a vehicle in a safe condition.
Road traffic accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor soft tissue damage to more serious, life-changing conditions. In some cases, injuries can also have long-term effects on mobility, employment, and day-to-day living, as well as causing financial pressure through lost income and medical costs.
You may be able to make a claim if you were injured in a road traffic accident as a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, or motorcyclist. Claims can also sometimes be brought on behalf of children or individuals who are unable to manage their own legal affairs.
Every case depends on the specific circumstances of the accident, including who was at fault and how the incident occurred. Evidence such as witness statements, medical records, and police reports may all be relevant when establishing a claim.
