Road Traffic Accidents

Road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, motor cyclists, drivers and passengers in cars, taxis, heavy goods vehicles, trucks, coaches, buses and so forth can all suffer injuries on the roads.

All road users owe a duty of care to all other road users.

We deal with accidents in Rochdale and much further afield.   Most of our new work comes from recommendation.

Where one road users causes an accident and injures another road user, the innocent victim can claim damages.   Our Rochdale based accident compensation solicitors can help you to do this.   The damages will usually be paid by the Road Traffic Act Insurer of the driver concerned.

The drivers of public service vehicles such as buses and coaches have a duty to comply with rules and regulations which apply only to them, but all drivers must comply with the Highway Code, and comply with the various Road Traffic Acts and legislation which affects their activities.

As all drivers must carry compulsory Road Traffic Act Insurance the victims of negligent drivers will generally have a very good prospect of recovering damages for injuries which have been caused by somebody else’s negligent driving.

Even where the other driver is not insured we will be able to assist you to make a claim against The Motor Insurers Bureau who compensate the victims of uninsured drivers, and also untraced drivers.

If you are the victim of a hit and run accident, then provided there is evidence that you have been injured by an untraced driver, the Motor Insurers Bureau will compensate you as they also compensate the victims of untraced drivers.
