As we all know, accidents at roundabouts are a common occurrence nowadays. The general rule is that you must always give way to all traffic coming from your right, whether this is a mini roundabout, or a larger one with multiple lanes. But all too often drivers are pulling out in front of others and driving in the wrong lane and cutting others up; so it’s no wonder so many road traffic accidents are caused by careless driving on roundabouts.

If you are unfortunate enough to become injured in an accident which was not your fault, you may look to claim compensation for your injuries and resulting losses. This is where we come in; we are a law firm dealing solely with personal injury claims.

At the start of a claim, or if you are simply just making an enquiry, you will want to know how much compensation that you will get. Due to recent changes in the law most law firms will look to take a deduction from your compensation. This is because some legal fees are no longer recoverable from the Defendant and therefore some law firms are passing this loss onto the client (i.e. you).

As a car driver myself I am often left bewildered about the actions and manners of certain other road users. Unfortunately we can only control what we do ourselves. Some road users (you come across them most days) always appear to be in a rush, like the type that overtake you despite the fact that you are travelling at the speed limit, or the type that drive ridiculously close behind your vehicle for no apparent reason.

Although frustrating, you just have to concentrate on your own driving at times. Obviously no one wants the inconvenience of dealing with an accident, even if you were not injured or it was not your fault. Any type of accident will likely cause inconvenience to you.

In short the answer is “yes, you can claim compensation for minor injuries.”

Unfortunately in law it is never quite so simple. By that I mean that different law firms may have different criteria that need to be met for that law firm to take your case forward. In theory you can claim compensation for very minor injuries, however if your pain and suffering was for a day or a week or for say, less than a month, then the value of your claim may be less than £1,000. This ultimately may mean that a law firm cannot act for you in your case as a law firm may not be able to recover legal fees if the claim is worth less than £1,000. This is the reason why a firm may not take such a case forward. However this does not necessarily mean that you cannot claim; you may have a small claim which you can bring yourself, for example.

It is important to take a number of factors into consideration at the time of and following the accident. It is essential to establish is whether or not the defect was the cause of injury, who the owner of the land containing the defect is and where the accident took place. Many accidents, such as falling down a pot hole, tripping due to raised paving slabs, or falling down a damaged drain cover take place on land which is owned by the council.
