Road traffic accidents and personal injury: the basics
If you have been injured in a road traffic accident you need sound and speedy advice from specialist personal injury solicitors. Whatever your injuries are, we are equipped to provide you with the right advice and progress your personal injury case as swiftly as possible.
We all know that road traffic accidents are extremely common. In fact, nearly half a million people are injured or killed on our roads every year. Everyone who is a road user owes a duty of care to other road users. Therefore, even if you are a cyclist or a pedestrian you have a duty to consider other people on the road. You should always comply with the Highway Code in order to ensure your own safety and that of other road users.
If you have been injured in a road traffic accident, you need to ensure that you make your personal injury claim promptly as court proceedings need to be issued by no later than three years from the date of your accident. In addition, the sooner you bring your personal injury claim, the easier it will be to track witnesses and obtain any expert evidence that may help your case.
