Passenger compensation claims – Injury Lawyers advice

If someone asked me what I considered to be a ‘dead cert’ for a claim for compensation, I would say a passenger claiming compensation for injuries they received whilst involved in a road traffic accident

A passenger would have to do something highly unusual, possibly extreme, to be considered to be at fault for causing an accident on the road.  Under current law, you can be compensated for any injuries you have got through no fault of your own, which is why passenger accident claims are often the most straightforward.

Passenger in a car accident – Maximum compensation advice!

Being a passenger in a road traffic accident means one simple thing – you are likely to have strong prospects of a successful claim for compensation.

You have been injured as a result of another person’s negligent driving and not as a result of your own; therefore we aim to get you the best compensation possible for your injuries. It doesn’t matter if you have been a passenger in the vehicle which is at fault if they collided into another vehicle; the fact that you were a passenger and you have sustained injuries as a result of the accident proves to be a winning claim.

Claims against uninsured or untraced drivers

If you are injured as the result of a road traffic accident, you will usually be entitled to claim compensation from the insurance company that provided cover for the other vehicle.

Even though it is a legal requirement for all vehicles used on the roads in the United Kingdom to be insured, it’s estimated that there are over a million uninsured drivers in the U.K.

What happens if you are injured as the result of an accident caused by an uninsured driver?

Compensation after a road traffic accident

The Watford Observer has reported that a Mr Mark Seabrook has obtained £5 million in compensation in the High Court last week. It came after Mr Seabrook was left paralysed back in 2006 when his motor vehicle was hit by a negligent thirty driver in Watford. In fact, the full list of injuries included numerous fractures to his ribs, a broken leg, as well as spinal, chest, lung and head traumas.  To make the matter even worse, the negligent driver had stolen the car that hit Mr Seabrook’s vehicle.

Not only has Mr Seabrook now been compensated for his devastating injuries, but Salliaman Khan, the negligent thief, has also been jailed for eight months.

In awarding Mr Seabrook this huge amount of compensation, account was taken of that fact that Mr Seabrook’s life had been ruined by the paralysis – that his job opportunities were now limited, and that he had in fact lost his job, and that he would need care and assistance for the rest of his life having now been confined to a wheel chair.

Getting you back on the road when you make a motorbike accident claim

There is much awareness around the safety of motorbike users on the road. I myself can think of many advertisements on television regarding motorbike safety as well as signs by the side of the road stating – ‘Think Bike!‘. This all serves to remind us of the vulnerability motorbikes have on the roads and to always leave them space and properly check the way is clear before proceeding.

Bikes are more difficult to notice than cars due to their size and speed; which increases their risk of being involved in a road traffic accident.

When an accident occurs, it may mean for the biker that their motorbike is damaged and unusable, and if they’re badly injured they’ll be unable to ride any bike for a long time. Ultimately, for the injured rider, it’s not only losing a way of getting about, but also a much loved pursuit.

The importance of the Highway Code in road traffic accident claims

The Highway Code was created to give all road users, whether they are pedestrians or drivers, a full understanding of their responsibility when using the road. It was created to help keep accidents to a minimum and make sure drivers and pedestrians know what to do when using the road.

When courts are reviewing compensation claims, or deciding who is liable for an accident, they often refer to the Highway Code when justifying their decision to those involved. Throughout the years it has grown to be a part of road traffic accidents in English law.
