Road Traffic Accidents

Because of the forces involved, road accidents can often lead to the most serious injuries and sometimes, of course, even death.

Whether you are a driver, a passenger, a pedestrian, or some other road user, (eg a cyclist or motorcyclist) it is necessary to prove that some other person was at fault in his or her driving. Damages can be reduced by a percentage figure if it is felt that the injured person also contributed to the accident or, for instance, where a passenger has not worn a seatbelt or where a motorcyclist has not worn a crash helmet.

We have expertise in advising on such concepts of fault and in dealing with vehicle insurers and their various arguments. In addition we have experience of acting in cases where the other person is uninsured for whatever reason.
