\"\"When it comes to Injury Law and whether you are entitled to make compensation claim<\/a> there is often a lot of confusion amongst the public.<\/p>\n

We often have people inquiring about a claim they want to make, but who are unsure about whether or not they have the right to do so, especially when it comes to accidents that involve emergency vehicles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With accidents involving emergency vehicles it is the same procedure as any other as it is important to establish who was at fault<\/strong>, this will then tell you whether or not you are entitled to compensation.\u00a0
\n<\/p>\n

Although drivers of emergency vehicles are allowed to exceed the speed limit, or cut through traffic when need be, they also have a responsibility to exercise reasonable care<\/strong> to other road users whilst driving.\u00a0 If they fail to do this, causing someone injury then that person may be entitled to claim compensation.<\/p>\n

However at the same time other road users must do all they can to give emergency vehicles the right of way<\/strong>. Sirens and blue lights are used to alert other drivers when an emergency vehicle needs the right of way.\u00a0 Therefore if someone fails to take note of the warning signals, which causes an accident, then they can be held partly responsible.<\/p>\n

If the driver or passenger of an emergency vehicle is involved in an accident then they may also be able to claim compensation.<\/p>\n

The law requires that the police must be informed as soon as possible<\/strong> if an accident with an emergency vehicle takes place.\u00a0 The police will then record the details and produce a report, which will be important if a compensation claim is pursued.<\/p>\n

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident<\/a> with an emergency vehicle<\/strong>, and you believe they were at fault you may be able to make an injury compensation claim. For more information contact the Injury Lawyers<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
