Most people in the United Kingdom drive. Some are more confident drivers than others, but I think it is fair to say that there is always an aspect of driving that people least prefer. For some people, the use of roundabouts can be terrifying, or at least, not particularly pleasurable. Unfortunately accidents on roundabouts occur daily. But it is not just those people who dislike roundabouts and are nervous when approaching a roundabout that cause the accidents, people who are overconfident often cause accidents too.
There are several types of accidents which happen on roundabouts. Here are a few examples:
- You are waiting to get onto the roundabout and are queuing in traffic on the approach when a vehicle fails to heed the presence of your vehicle and slow down in time and goes into the rear of your vehicle
- You are proceeding round the roundabout when someone pulls out onto the lane in front of you mistakenly thinking they have enough time to do so and collides with your vehicle
- You are proceeding round the roundabout when someone realises they are in the wrong lane, and without noticing that you are in the lane, they want to be in changes lane and collides into your vehicle
The three examples above are three of the most common types of roundabout accidents. If you have been the unfortunate driver who’s vehicle someone has collided into then if you have been injured you are likely to be entitled to compensation and can make a claim. That said, if it was you who caused the accident, unless the other driver was partly to blame, you are not entitled to compensation for any injuries you may have picked up.
If you have been injured and want to be compensated, making a claim is straightforward. You are best off contacting an expert and quality injury lawyer who will guarantee that you keep 100% of any compensation you are awarded and has dealt with these types of claims for many years. They are best off to get you the maximum compensation you deserve and can properly advise you every step of the way.
