It’s actually a bit of a grey area in law when it comes to the duties of a bus driver to wait for passengers to be seated before setting off. In a news report from the BBC, a pensioner in Scotland has been awarded £10,000 in Court after she fell and inured her shoulder on a McGill’s coach in these exact circumstances.
So let’s have a look at the details of this one.

Can I trust a no win, no fee lawyer?
Of course – why not?
Although I can’t speak for all law firms, the no win, no fee was designed to allow people the opportunity to make a claim without having the worry of having to pay a heavy legal bill if things don’t turn out right.
It really should do what it says on the tin. I know ours does! But some people still worry themselves unnecessarily, so here’s a little advice on the subject

As the big freeze hits the UK, road safety conditions are set to be dangerous
Whilst it was nice to have a little bit of snow over the festive season, it has resulted in a lot of potholes being formed which have resulted in accidents and injuries caused to both pedestrians and drivers alike.

Mr S awarded £5,000 for rear end collision whiplash claim
Mr S was the unfortunate victim of a rear end collision when he was stationary at traffic lights. This sort of accident is hugely common and we take on a lot of whiplash claims for people who have been hit in the rear.
There are a lot of law firms out there who will want to take on your whiplash claim and there are a lot of claims management companies who have had years of success in selling whiplash claims on to law firms – often at the victims expense. As well as that, insurers will often pressure you to accept offers from them directly.
Luckily for Mr S, he contacted our specialist team and received a fair payout for his injuries – and here is why.

Victims of contaminated NHS blood scandal launch disability discrimination claim
You may recall the scandal where imported blood between 1970 and 1991 was found to have been contaminated, leaving thousands of people suffering from lifelong blood borne like HIV and Hepatitis C. According to a recent all party parliamentary report, it is thought that more than 30,000 may have been infected following NHS blood treatment.
Only 6,000 have been identified and the report confirms that over 1,500 were infected with HIV between 1978 and 1985. Now the BBC has reported that three victims have launched claims for disability discrimination for their payments for Hepatitis C.

Roundabout exit accident claims
As a driver for 9 years now, I feel I’m fairly confident when it comes to the rules of the road and driving safely – as well as being quick to react to potential accident situations. But even the best of drivers cannot avoid the negligence of other drivers, which is why we have to have compulsory insurance to cover accidents and claims.
Roundabouts are a known accident hotspot – I’ve almost been in two non fault ones this week alone! So it seemed worthwhile to write a blog about the basics of roundabout exit claims.
