Road & Traffic Accidents

Road accidents account for a large proportion of personal injury claims. And, perhaps not surprisingly, many of them are successful claims, because in road accident cases it is usually fairly easy to identify the party at fault.

But there can be complications. What about motorists who are uninsured, or who don't stop after an accident? What about the driver who collides with you because he swerved to avoid a dog in the road, or a child? What about the driver who has an illness at the wheel, or whose vehicle suffers an unpredicatable fault?

And what about seatbelts, or crash helmets? Do you get nothing, or less, because you weren't wearing one?

And what about accidents caused by the state of the road? Pot holes, bad signing, obscured junctions, ice or mud on the road. Perhaps another party such as a Local Council could be liable?

Even in road accidents there can be complications to sort out. We are experienced lawyers in this area of law and will be pleased to advise you about your claim, whether it is a simple one or complicated.
