There are a set of, what we Injury Lawyers call, “common road accidents” and drivers pulling out from a parked position on the side of the road in to your passing vehicle is right up there with the classics. People simply forget the most basic of driving tuition rules – mirror, signal, and manoeuvre.
It’s a lot more common for the victims to be cyclists or motorcyclists. Its far easier to spot a vehicle of the size of a car or bigger, but many will fail to spot much smaller bikers, or may check their mirrors and pull out too quickly without noting the biker in their blind spot. A driver should always take caution when moving off from a parked position; even if the road looks clear.
So who is at fault in this kind of scenario? To us, it seems fairly obvious as we have years and years of experience in dealing with road accident claims. But the law is fairly simple – if you are correctly proceeding past a parked car on the side of the road and they pull out and hit you, they should be 100% to blame. So if this has happened to you, we can help you out with a claim for compensation.
Here is what we can do
We can take all of your case details and submit the claim to the other side on the same day you instruct us. We don’t mess around with lengthy forms – we have a hassle free approach to getting your claim started straight away.
We can organise private treatment for you if it’s needed – commonly this is physiotherapy or chiropractic / osteopathic treatment. We can arrange for it to be funded so you don’t pay anything up front, and then we can recover the treatment fees from the other side at the end of the successful claim.
We can assist with hire and repair needs as well if you require it. We don’t just deal with the personal injury side; we can arrange for all your hire and repair needs if your vehicle or bike is damaged as a result of the accident.
Finally, we will settle your claim for the maximum amount and in the quickest possible time. We are a firm of specialist injury lawyers, so our years and years of experience in helping victims of accidents to claim for compensation is our badge of honour that proves we are best equipped to get the most amount for your claim.
