When can I Claim for a Road Traffic Accident?
An accident is a road traffic accident if it occurs on a road or any place to which the public have access. For example footpaths or bridleways, and can be caused by a variety of factors such as speeding, drink or drug driving, or simply not paying attention. Environmental factors, like icy roads, heavy rain, or potholes, can also be possible causes. You can make a claim for a road traffic accident if you were injured as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian and whether you were riding a bicycle, a motorbike, or a horse when the accident occurred. Road traffic accidents aren’t limited to car accidents alone, and any road user could be entitled to compensation.
