Passenger Accident Compensation Solicitors - Injury Claim Lawyers UK
Our Solicitors deal with personal injury compensation claims on behalf of passengers injured in a road traffic accident. Under normal circumstances a passenger accident compensation claim will always succeed and a passenger will almost never fail to be awarded damages in the event of being injured in a motor vehicle collision. A passenger is rarely deemed to be at fault for causing a road traffic accident and will therefore recover damages in almost every case from one of the other people involved in a vehicle collision, be it their own driver, another driver or a third party who was not a driver but was nevertheless responsible in negligence for causing the accident. Provided that you were injured as an innocent passenger, that you abide by the time limit rules, that you follow our qualified legal advice and that you are able to show that your injuries were causd by the incident in question then it is almost certainly a 'guaranteed compensation' situation.

Uninsured Drivers
Our solicitors will generally make a passenger accident compensation claim for damages for personal injury and loss against at least one of the drivers involved in the incident which will be settled by the negligent party's insurers however in the event that the 3rd party is not insured or is untraced as in a hit and run incident, a claim will be made to the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) which is a company, set up by government and funded by the motor insurance industry to pay compensation to the victims of untraced or uninsured drivers. Even if there is no insurance indemnity available from an insurance company, if the driver is uninsured or untraced, we will ensure that you receive damages for personal injury from the MIB.

Time Limits
There are time limits that apply to personal injury damages awards and in general terms a passenger accident compensation claim must be settled or proceedings must have been issued in a court of law within three years of the accident failing which the opportunity to claim compensation may have been lost forever. There are exceptions to the general rules for those under the age of 18 years (a minor) at the time of the accident and for those suffering from a mental disabilty. The limitation rules are complex legal matters and you should always take advice from a qualified specialist. Our lawyers are personal injury experts who will always be available on the telephone or in person to discuss legal matters relating to your claim. There will be no delays in dealing with your case.

Personal Injury Compensation Claims
In most motor vehicle accidents, it is a driver who is injured. Injuries can vary from mild to severe with about 10 fatalities occurring on UK roads every day. Most vehicles travelling on our roads do not contain passengers; however when there is an accident in a vehicle with passengers, they often suffer more severe injuries than the driver due to reduced seat belt usage. A passenger who is not wearing a seatbelt is at considerably more risk of being thrown from the vehicle. Even if a passenger wears a seat belt the risk of injury is enhanced due to an inability to see the accident coming, giving time to brace and due to not having a steering wheel to use as a brace during impact.
Passenger accident litigation is like any other UK personal injury compensation claim in that there are no legal charges to pay to a solicitor who deals with the matter on a no win no fee basis. It is wrong to think that a passenger who is injured in a road traffic accident has no claim unless the other driver is found to be at fault. A passenger can make a claim against the driver of the vehicle in which they are travelling even if the driver is a friend or close relative including spouse, parent or child. A passenger can make a claim against several drivers including their own driver, if the drivers were all partially to blame for the accident.
Passengers should almost always have a different solicitor to the driver of the vehicle to prevent the possibility of a conflict of interest arising in situations where it is determined that the driver has some fault in the accident. A passenger accident compensation claim for personal injury damages should be completely separate from action taken by any of the drivers; however a single firm of solicitors can represent different passengers in the same accident.
