Road Traffic Accidents: What to Do Next
Summary
In the last three years, if you’ve been involved in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault and suffered as a result, you have the legal right to seek compensation.Understanding Road Traffic Accidents
In the UK, road traffic accidents happen daily. Many are due to reckless driving, excessive speed, and unfortunately, drink driving. Although measures have been introduced to curb drink driving, it remains a concern. The legal limit is 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, approximately equating to two pints of beer for men.
- Drink Driving Limits:
- Men: 4 units
- Women: 3 units
Research shows that 90% of those prosecuted for drink driving are male, with the peak age being 27. If involved in such an accident, remain calm and contact the police to conduct breath tests.
Other Causes of Road Accidents
Accidents are not only caused by drink driving. Other significant factors include:
- Wet or icy roads
- Speeding
- Lack of concentration
- Vehicle malfunctions
After an Accident: What to Do
If you’re injured in a road traffic accident, the police will likely be involved, gathering statements from everyone involved, including witnesses. These statements are crucial for your compensation claim.
You may suffer from various injuries?"head, neck, back, limbs, or internal damage. Even minor injuries can lead to medical expenses and potentially loss of income if you cannot work. You are entitled to claim compensation for these costs and your suffering.
Claiming Compensation
Many solicitors handle road traffic accident cases on a "No Win, No Fee" basis. This means you won’t pay legal fees unless your case is successful. Solicitors typically only take cases they believe have a strong chance of winning. While you might need to cover costs for medical reports, if your claim succeeds, you’ll receive the full compensation, with legal fees covered by the at-fault party’s insurance.
Seek legal advice to explore your rights and potentially secure the compensation you deserve.
