Road Traffic Accidents

By far one of the most common types of accident in the UK are road traffic accidents, which account for almost 25,000 serious injuries each year. 5 times this many accidents are reported to the police involving minor injuries, and insurers report receiving around 700,000 minor personal injury claims per year.

Abbey Court Solicitors act for Claimants who have been injured as a result of another’s negligence. This would include injuries sustained either as a driver, passenger, cyclist, motorcyclist or pedestrian, or a victim of a hit and run. If you are the victim of a hit and run, or if the driver of the vehicle that hit you is uninsured, then we are still able to recover compensation for you.
