Uninsured or stolen - compensation claim advice
Road traffic accidents are governed by the law of negligence and driving is therefore governed by the standard of reasonable care.
All road users owe a duty to one another to use the highway with reasonable care. If a road accident which causes personal injury is caused by a failure to meet this standard, an accident claim for damages may be brought by the injured person.
If any injury occurs as a result of a road traffic accident, the police should be called. They will compile a report which is of considerable importance in any subsequent legal action
If an accident happens, wherever possible take the names and home addresses of witnesses; always keep a record and take photographs if you can; afterwards, keep evidence of doctors visited and treatments, and keep receipts for any injury related expenses.
