Roundabout Accident Claims when a Driver Pulls Out on You!

The general rule of thumb is that if you are already established on a roundabout and another driver emerges on to the roundabout and crashes in to you, they are at fault. The driver merging on to the roundabout must give precedence to a driver already on the roundabout.

In some situations drivers could read a situation wrong and think you are turning off when you are not. If you are not indicating, they may assume you are coming off of the exit before the entrance they are emerging from. But the general rule of thumb still applies – if you are established on the roundabout and another vehicle emerges in to you, they are at fault.

The process for making a claim for personal injury compensation is pretty straightforward. We normally submit a Claim Notification Form directly to the insurance company of the driver responsible. The insurers only have 15 business days to formally accept liability, and if they dispute liability or try to allege you are party at fault without good reason, they will normally be liable for a higher level of fees. So it’s well within their interest to accept 100% liability for a straightforward claim nice and early.

This is definitely a claim we could assist you with on a No Win, No Fee basis. Normally it is common to suffer from a whiplash injury when being involved in a road collision, and it is likely that you will start to notice the symptoms of whiplash, like pain and stiffness in the neck, back, and shoulders, a few hours after the incident. You can claim compensation for the pain, suffering, and inconvenience the injury causes as well as any losses like lost earnings from time off work.
