Many lawyers help people with straightforward road accident cases, ourselves included. But there are certain types of road accidents that can ask more from your average lawyer, and motorbike compensation claims are often among them.

If you are a passenger in a car crash, it is likely that you have an almost guaranteed claim for personal injury if you have suffered injury as a result.

I can say this because in most cases, as a passenger, there is nothing that you could have done to have contributed toward or prevented the accident. After all as a passenger you are probably not in control of any vehicles involved in a crash.

So if you are a passenger in a car crash then we can help you.

If you are involved in a road traffic accident you would expect that the other driver would have insurance and that they would stop and exchange details with you at the scene of the accident. That is after all what every good upstanding citizen has been taught to do. However, sadly, it is the case that some people just aren’t like the rest of us. So if you’ve been in an accident and the other driver has sped off before you can so much as get a glimpse of their registration number, what do you do?

You use the MIB Untraced Driver Agreement – and we can give you an insight in to this below.

Making a successful pothole claim is not an easy thing to do. The law that applies when investigating and finding out whether you are entitled to compensation for a pothole accident is not on the side of the victim at all.

This, of course, leaves the question: what’s the best way of making a successful pothole 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.

Winter is at an end and if you’re a regular driver on our roads at this time of year, you’ll know that the beginning of Spring is also known as Pothole season – and you’ll be using all your skills on the road to avoid becoming a victim of a pothole accident!
