Passenger in an Accident where Driver Loses Control but no Collision – can I still Claim?

passenger injury claimsGenerally speaking, as a passenger in an accident, you have an almost guaranteed claim unless you were somehow to blame. In the vast majority of circumstances there isn’t anything you could have done to have prevented or contributed towards an accident as a passenger.

But can you still claim if the driver loses control of the vehicle but regains control and avoids a collision? Can you still claim if the swerving of the vehicle or the vehicle coming to a sudden stop has injured you?

Whiplash Claims this Christmas

whiplash claimsThere’s nothing worse than being injured in general; but it’s worse when it’s over the festive period when we are meant to be enjoying ourselves instead of moping about with a stiff neck, shoulders and back.

Whiplash can be a lot more complicated than most people think. It’s not the stereotyped injury that people often see it as – ask any whiplash sufferer and they should be able to tell you that it’s actually quite painful and debilitating.

Taxi passenger accident compensation claims

If you have an accident in a collision and you are a passenger in a taxi that was involved, you pretty much have a guaranteed claim for personal injury compensation. If there is a collision, then there should be someone at fault and as such you should be able to make a claim against the driver at fault.

Whether this is the taxi driver or another driver, or even if the blame is split between them, you can still make a full claim for personal injury compensation.

Now, the Christmas season often involves a lot of drinking! So the nights are set to be busy and hopefully people will refrain from drink driving and will use a taxi service. So we are expecting a few calls from people who have been injured in taxi accidents over the festive period!

Severe Weather Set to Grind UK to a Standstill

bad weather accident claimsWe’re being warned (again) that roads will be dangerous, trains and flights will be delayed or cancelled, and anyone wanting to get away for Christmas may find themselves stranded.

Severe wind and rain is set to hit the UK today right in time for the Christmas getaway and our team here at The Injury Lawyers are expecting floods of calls for people wanting to make a claim for personal injury compensation as a result of the adverse weather.

Now, pursuing a claim against the weather itself isn’t really feasible! But you can make a claim for personal injury compensation if someone is at fault because they have neglected to take extra care given the severe weather.

Can you get Compensation for Minor Injuries?

minor injury claimsIn short the answer is “yes, you can claim compensation for minor injuries.”

Unfortunately in law it is never quite so simple. By that I mean that different law firms may have different criteria that need to be met for that law firm to take your case forward. In theory you can claim compensation for very minor injuries, however if your pain and suffering was for a day or a week or for say, less than a month, then the value of your claim may be less than £1,000. This ultimately may mean that a law firm cannot act for you in your case as a law firm may not be able to recover legal fees if the claim is worth less than £1,000. This is the reason why a firm may not take such a case forward. However this does not necessarily mean that you cannot claim; you may have a small claim which you can bring yourself, for example.
