The law changes last year mean that most law firms now take the full 25% from your payout, charge you (sometimes upfront) for insurance that costs hundreds of pounds, and there may be additional charges and deductions if you go through a claims management company or accident advice service instead.

So is there such a thing as 100% compensation for a road accidents nowadays?

There are some accidents that are almost guaranteed as a winner. If the title didn’t give it away I am going to discuss rear-end collisions. Although the sum of compensation is based on the severity of the injuries and this can vary between cases, it is almost certain that you have a case if you are injured by a rear-end shunt. We often refer to them as ‘no brainers’ given how easy they can be to win.

I like most drivers loathe the often tedious task of locating a decent car parking space when I’m out and about. We all want a space with the least walking distance, but getting one before someone sneaks in can be a mission in itself.

Car parks are inherent hotspots for accidents for many reasons. There are a lot of cars driving around and a lot of people rushing around as well. In this blog, we’ll go in to car parking space collisions.

I’ve heard from sources at the BBC that two buses have crashed earlier today in County Durham, and 9 ambulances are said to be on the scene on the A693 in Stanley. An Air Ambulance has also said to have been dispatched, and although casualty numbers are yet to be confirmed, the number of ambulances in attendance is fairly concerning.

Bike accidents on roundabouts are extremely common. For one, bikes are normally harder to spot meaning drivers are liable to pull out on a rider and cause a potentially serious accident. People changing lanes or coming off the incorrect exit are also common causes of bike accidents, and as well as poor manoeuvring technique, a drivers inability to easily spot the rider is often a factor.

The same rules apply for any other accident in general terms. If a driver negligently changes lanes and causes a collision, or perhaps fails to give way to a rider already established on a roundabout, they are at fault. As a rider, you stand a good chance of being able to make a successful claim for personal injury compensation.

It’s bad enough being hit when you’re in a vehicle, but getting hit when you’re trying to enter your vehicle can be even worse. If it’s still your vehicle that has been hit as opposed to you, you’re likely to feel a significant jolt and perhaps end up being thrown to the ground.

You won’t have the added protection of a seatbelt as well, so the force of the impact could be quite substantial. But what are your rights for making a claim for personal injury compensation if this has happened to you?

For most road accidents, it’s usually easy to establish who is at fault. If someone goes in to the back of you or pulls out from a side road in to you, they’re the one who should be accepting the blame.

But sometimes there are circumstances where it can be hard to show exactly who is to blame. A lot of it is down to what version of events people give as to what happened. If you have an honest person who is willing to hold their hands up and accept responsibility for what they’ve done, then great. But what if you don’t?
