Road Accidents

Howe & Co. has an established team who have the expertise to deal with all types of road accident compensation (RTA) claims, from those involving the most straightforward whiplash injury to those of a catastrophic nature requiring extended medical treatment and rehabilitation.

If you are injured in a road accident, be you a pedestrian, driver or passenger, you can claim compensation from the person responsible. This is possible even if you are partly to blame for the accident which happened.

Establishing who is to blame for a road accident may not always be straightforward. Claims involving vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists call for specialist legal knowledge.

Pedestrians in particular often have strong claims since the law recognises that, unlike drivers, pedestrians are usually a danger to no one but themselves. These accidents often involve children and the elderly.

Our solicitors regularly act for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists and we often take on and succeed in road accident cases where other firms have advised the client to accept a low offer or even to abandon their claim altogether. (see Recent Cases).

If you have been injured in a road accident and want to make a claim for compensation then complete our Claim Form now or telephone us on 0800 823958.

Useful Points to Remember:

• Write down your version of events as soon as possible.
• Write down the names and addresses of any witnesses.
• Write down the name, address and insurance details of any car driver involved. They are legally obliged to give you this information.
• If you have suffered an injury see a doctor as soon as possible to get the injury recorded.
• Contact your insurers.

Remember, if we take your case on we will deal with it at absolutely no cost to you whether your case is won or lost.
