With many hundreds of thousands of road traffic casualties each year, it won’t surprise you to hear that road traffic accident claims are among the most popular types of personal injury claims. With a greater proportion of households than ever having access to a car and our roads becoming increasingly clogged up with traffic, it is also unsurprising that there should be so many accidents.
Road traffic accidents – or RTAs – have a number of different common causes. Driver tiredness can play a considerable role, as can being distracted by children in the car or other passengers, mobile phone use or use of the radio or CD player. Other common causes include driving too fast or too aggressively, drunk driving, failing to brake on time, ignoring traffic signs and signals, or just general lack of control over a vehicle.
Although RTAs commonly include car accidents, they can also include motorbike accidents, cycle accidents and bus accidents. These accidents all have their victims, with common injuries including broken bones, back injuries, whiplash injuries and broken bones.
You are eligible to make a claim provided that you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault. You do not even have to be the driver of the vehicle to be able to do so – you could instead be a passenger, driver, cyclist, pedestrian or motor cyclist.
Ensuring the success of your road traffic accident claim
To give yourself the best chance possible of making a successful road traffic accident claim, you will naturally need to ensure that you hire the services of the most capable and professional solicitor, with plenty of experience of making road traffic accident claims. Such a solicitor should work on a ‘no win no fee’ basis so that you won’t need to pay a penny irrespective of whether your claim is a success.
You will also need to ensure, if you intend to make a road traffic accident claim, that you get medical attention for your injuries so that documentary evidence exists of the pain and suffering caused to you by the accident, in addition to exchanging insurance details and even, if possible, taking photos of the scene.
