Road Traffic Accidents
The Department of Transport shows that the number of people injured on the United Kingdom’s roads in 2006 was 258,404, with some 31,845 of those being either seriously injured or killed.
With road traffic accidents being the most common cause of personal injury, the personal injury department at Crossmans Solicitors, which has recently merged with Fenbrook Solicitors (London), has considerable expertise in the law surrounding road traffic accidents, including:-
- Driver and Passenger Claims in motor vehicles
- Motorcyclist Claims
- Pedestrian Claims
- Cylcist Claims
- Claims on behalf of Children
- Injuries caused by Defective Vehicles
- Claims involving Uninsured Victims and Drivers
- Road Accident Claims involving Animals
- Fatal Accident Claims
The firm recently acted on behalf of the Claimant in the Court of Appeal case of Clark v Bowlt [2006] EWCA Civ 978. This was a complex claim in negligence in a road traffic accident and under section 2 of the Animals Act 1971. The case received widespread publicity and put the contentious matter of strict liability for horses back into the public arena.
