Wet Weather Accident Compensation Advice from The Injury Lawyers
I thought I’d write this one because we have had some pretty heavy rainfall over the weekend, and it was pouring down within the last hour here at The Injury Lawyers HQ as well. We’re in the midst of intermittent storms and heavy rainfall at the moment, which naturally means there are certain types of accident claims that will go on the rise.
Wet weather can often be a catalyst for accidents where people need to pursue a claim – so here is some advice about it.
Bus Accident Compensation Claims! Who is at Fault?
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.
Bus accident claims are very common – so here is some advice about your rights if this happens to you.
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.
Hit When Getting in to a Car Injury Claims
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?
Driver Suddenly U-turns Causing Accident
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?
Delivery Driver Pothole Accidents – Injury Lawyers Advice
For the most part, I expect that a delivery driver’s main concern when it comes to an accident is a road accident. With them being on the road so much, the likelihood of being in an accident is of course higher. But what about pothole accidents caused when you are employed as a delivery driver?
We all know that the state of our roads in some areas is extremely poor. And you may end up falling over due to a pothole on a delivery destination. Read on for more advice.
Can I Claim if Someone Drives in to the Back of Me?
If someone drives in to the back of you, it is highly likely that you will have a successful claim for personal injury compensation. We often refer to rear end collision accidents as ‘no brainers‘ because they are almost guaranteed winners.
If someone has hit you from behind, it usually means that they have failed to stop in time. Whether it is down to driving too fast, not braking quickly or hard enough, or not paying attention in general, it’s normally their fault.
Car Accident Injury – Other Driver Drove Off!
It’s an unpleasant enough experience to be in a car accident – but when the other driver drives off, knowing they’re at fault and attempting to escape liability, it’s infuriating. Perhaps someone has bumped you in the back, and given you a quick cursory wave in apology before driving off. Or perhaps you have been clipped on a roundabout and the other driver sheepishly makes their getaway in the hope you won’t find them.
If this happens to you, what can you do?

Have you been the victim of an accident after a car failed to stop at traffic lights? Have you been knocked down whilst walking across a pedestrian crossing? Have you been knocked down as a result of a speeding vehicle?
If the answer to any of the above is yes then you could pursue a claim for personal injury. Many pedestrian accidents are caused by negligent drivers speeding and / or not paying the proper due care and attention when driving.
