Negligence

One of the most typical incidents where there is negligence (wrong doing) is mainly where one car collides with the rear of the other. For example, where the leading car has stopped in the road waiting to turn right and is hit from behind. This often results in neck and back injuries as a result of the jolt. The driver behind is usually found liable.

In the majority of road traffic accidents, liability will be clearly established against the other party. However, there are accidents that result in liability being split between the parties involved where contributory negligence applies. The following case is a good example of this.

Breach of the Highway Code

In this case whilst the defendant was primarily responsible for the accident, the claimant did contribute to his own injuries.

A speeding motorcyclist (the claimant) ran into a car that was wrongly turning right and in breach of several rules of the Highway Code. The claimant (motorcyclist) sustained severe injuries in the collision. The judge considered that the defendant's (driver of car turning right) contribution to the accident far outweighed the claimants. The defendant's unexpected movement into the immediate path just before the point of collision was the immediate cause of the accident.

Liability was apportioned at 20:80 in favour of the Motorcyclist.

We have compiled a list of example cases to demonstrate how the claims process works, and to illustrate the sorts of cases we receive.

The examples are split into three types:

Road Traffic Accidents
Accidents At Work
Slipping & Tripping In Public Places
