Unfortunately, the streets of Cumbria are home to many road traffic accidents every single day. If you were involved in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, then it is likely that you’ll be eligible for compensation for your injuries.

Road traffic accidents can result in a wide variety of injuries ranging from minor bruising to serious structural damage. Thankfully, you can claim compensation for nearly every type of injury related to a road accident.

This is just a small selection of the life-changing injuries a person could obtain from a car accident. From facial damage to an internal injury, no one should have to face any negative economic impacts whilst they are recovering from a serious incident.
Our personal injury claims team has dealt with thousands of road traffic accident claims. Nearly all of them occur in similar circumstances and locations. For example, dips and bends in the road are often scenes of accidents thanks to their blind spots and dangerous driving.
Narrow roads, mud-covered surfaces, lack of street lighting, and unexpectedly slow traffic can all force a driver to have to make sudden movements, which can often result in a crash.
Personal injury solicitors should always be contacted even in the event of a minor traffic accident. We work on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, which means you never lose out by contacting our personal injury claims panel and asking for advice. You might just be entitled to a compensation settlement.
The emotional pain and suffering that a person can undergo following a road accident is often as damaging as any physical injury. This is why it is important for any personal injury lawyers to take emotional pain into account whenever they are helping to make a claim.
Personal injury lawyers will often use a multiplier method to work out a compensation sum that takes into account pain and suffering. Specifically, the damage costs (repairs and healthcare bills) are multiplied by a number between 1 and 5 in order to reach a fair settlement.
Typically, a personal injury claims solicitor will be able to have your compensation back to you in 4-9 months. This can go on longer for more complex cases though.
Aside from accidents on the roads, there are also injuries that occur in the workplace. Our personal injury lawyers have years of experience in this particular field and have dealt with accident claims from a variety of different industries.
