Motorway accidents are typically common given how busy they are, and an accident involving a lorry is also fairly common too. Unfortunately lorry accidents on motorways can be quite devastating and we are often representing victims who have been injured in these kinds of circumstances.

It’s usually quite easy to determine who is at fault in a road accident and many lorry vehicles now have CCTV footage on them which can be a great help. So we can usually investigate cases on a no win, no fee basis.

Parks – we all loved them as a child, I’m sure. I’ve so many fond memories of my time spent playing on the swings, slides, and frames; but their importance to children is also a duty to those who are responsible for maintaining them.

So what happens if your child has been injured by dangerous, defective, or worn down park apparatus? Whether it’s a slide, swing, frame, tyres, blocks, seesaw, monkey bars, or other equipment that has injured you or your child, we may be able to help you.

But you don’t have to have it – we work in a different way that can still offer you the protection of having insurance without needing to pay for it.

In this latest incident in Rochdale, 17 people were reportedly hurt when the whole roof of the bus was sheared off when it tried to get underneath the bridge. Paramedics treated passengers at the scene and several of those injured were taken to hospital, with some serious injuries being reported.
