CLAIM TIP:

Accidents with foreign lorries

If you are involved in an accident with a foreign haulage vehicle - it is important that you note the registration numbers on both the FRONT and BACK of the truck.

This is because cabs and trailers can have separate identities which can cause major confusion during a claim.

What to do if you are involved in a car accident

First things first seek appropriate medical help. You must always receive a medical check up even if you feel that your injuries are not severe. You do not necessarily have to go to your local Accident & emergency hospital but we would always recommend that you do if this is at all possible. At the hospital they can perform checks that your GP is simply not able to and usually you will receive a more accurate diagnosis from a more qualified doctor. However if you feel your injuries do not warrant emergency assistance you can visit your GP who will provide basic medical advice. Whatever you do make sure you obtain medical advice of some nature on your injuries.

We can assist you if you have suffered a personal injury in the workplace as a result of the negligence of another employee or your employer.

Or if you have been involved in a tripping or slipping accident on the street or other public place.

You may have suffered injury as a result of medical negligence - we can help you with clinical negligence enquiries.

We also deal with criminal injury CICA claims following an assault in the UK

SPEEDING - the facts

Speed is probably the single most common cause of road accidents that we come across. The majority of the claims that we deal with (around 60%) involve whiplash injuries resulting from rear end collisions. Speed is nearly always a factor in such incidents. Here are some facts about speed:

Speed contributes to 40,000 serious car crash injuries and 1,000 deaths that occur on Britain's roads annually.

More than two thirds of all accidents in which people are killed or seriously injured occur in zones where the speed limit is 40mph or less

At 35mph you are twice as likely to kill someone as would be at 30mph.
