Road traffic accidents
If you've been injured in a road traffic accident, this can have a significant or even devastating effect on your life, especially if you’ve suffered serious injury or are experiencing debilitating physical and/or psychological symptoms requiring ongoing treatment.
If the accident wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to claim compensation against the insurers of the negligent driver for any personal injury and financial losses sustained. You may even be able to claim compensation through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau for any injury and losses arising out of an accident involving an uninsured or untraced driver.
In cases of serious injury, a claim could comprise any loss of earnings incurred due to injury-related absence from work; any future loss of income should your ability to work alter; the cost of care and assistance received or required as result of being incapacitated; any adaptations you’ve made or will need to make to your home or vehicle; and any medical or travel expenses incurred or are likely to incur in the future.
Even in cases of less serious injury, you can claim for your pain, suffering and loss of amenity. You can also claim for any loss of earnings, the value of gratuitous care and assistance provided by a family member or friend, plus any out of pocket expenses and more.
What we do for our clients
At Farnworth Rose Solicitors we have extensive experience in pursuing substantial awards of damages on behalf of our clients for a wide range of injuries, from minor soft tissue and whiplash-type injuries to serious life-changing head trauma and spinal injury cases. These include claims involving drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and/or pedestrians.
Where liability is in issue, our specialist team of solicitors will take the time to understand the circumstances surrounding the happening of the accident, carefully risk-assessing a client’s prospects of being successfully exonerated of any blame. Once we’ve established the likelihood of third party fault, we work hard to secure an out-of-court admission, in some cases resulting in interim compensation payments to cover any immediate or treatment costs for the client.
We also comprehensively investigate every aspect of a client’s injuries, and the impact that these injuries have had on their life, and are likely to continue to have, with a view to securing the best possible settlement or award on their behalf. This includes identifying any long-term rehabilitation needs and helping a client to access the necessary support.
