Motor Accident Injuries
Motor accidents can result in a number of injuries of varying severity. Regardless of the severity of the injuries you should not be left in any pain which has been caused by the negligence of another person.
It should also be remembered that it is not only the drivers of the vehicles involved who are able to claim for injuries sustained but passengers who are injured are also able to make a motor accident compensation claim on the third party insurance policy of the driver of the motor vehicle at fault.
If you, as the passenger, were aware of the driver being under the influence of alcohol or drugs then this may result in less compensation however it does not remove your right to claim. If the accident was not your fault and you have suffered personal injury you still may be able to make a motor accident compensation claim.
Below a few common causes of traffic accident claims which you would not be at fault:
- When braking to avoid a possible collision the vehicle behind you does not react in time and therefore impacts with your vehicle causing injury to you.
- Injuries caused whilst you are a passenger of a vehicle in a road traffic accident.
- Impact caused by a vehicle in front of your own reversing.
- Collisions caused by the late braking of another driver regardless of weather conditions.
- Accidents caused by drivers on mobile phones, under the influence of drugs and alcohol, reading maps or generally not paying enough attention to the road.
Whiplash Injuries and Motor Accidents
The most common injury caused by the collision of a vehicle is whiplash which can leave the injured party with muscle pain in their back, neck and shoulders. Back and spinal injuries can cause pain throughout the body through any number of movements essentially hindering the injured party in carrying out day-to-day duties such as working, walking, sleeping, standing, exercise and all other physical activiities.
If you have injuries from a road accident, whether permanent or temporary, such as whiplash then please complete your free legal enquiry form (on the right) to request legal help regarding your potential compensation entitlements.
The severity of injuries caused by road traffic accidents can vary greatly from head injuries, broken bones, lacerations to the body, muscle and nerve damage as well as psychological trauma and so it is not just severe injuries such as amputation, permanent disfigurement or disability which can be compensated for.
Evidence of the accident is imperative though and so the information collated regarding the accident time, location and driver at fault is as important as the details of the personal injuries inflicted on you.
Whilst at the scene of the accident you need to try to do the following:
- Make sure everybody is alright and nobody has any serious injuries requiring urgent medical attention. If they do, call an ambulance straight away.
- Take note of the make, model and registration number of the other vehicle.
- Take the name and address of the driver or the other vehicle or vehicles.
- The other driver’s insurance details.
- If possible take a photo of the scene, to help with any discrepancies that may arise regarding who is liable. Most people carry a mobile phone with camera these days, so this should help with this.
- Insurance companies are to be notified as soon as possible, and if need be you should notify the police, especially if liability is disputed or the accident is causing disruption on a busy road.
- If there are any witnesses to the accident, obtain their details.
- If you have suffered an injury as a result of the accident you need to seek medical advice as soon as possible. In order to make a successful motor accident compensation claim you will need to have supporting medical evidence.
- The key to making a successful motor accident compensation claim is providing your lawyer with as much information surrounding the incident as is possible.

Causes of road traffic accident claims include:
- Collision with another vehicle such as a car
- Collision with cyclists
- Collision with motorcyclists
- Falls from trying to avoid a vehicle
- Falls from hitting a defect in the road
- Pedestrian being hit by a vehicle
- Road traffic accidents can result in personal injuries from cuts and bruises or minor whiplash to serious knee injury, muscle injury, brain injury or spinal injury.
In most road traffic accident claims, the insurance company of the person who was at fault pays compensation. Even in the case of an uninsured or 'hit and run' driver it is possible to claim personal injury compensation through government organisations established to compensate the victims of hit-and-run accidents, negligent, uninsured or untraced motorists.
In car accidents and road traffic accidents, injuries can occur to all parts of the human body, both internal and external.
Some of the most common car accident injuries include:
- Whiplash Injuries
- Spine Injuries
- Back Injuries
- Neck and shoulder injuries
- chest injuries
- arms and leg injuries
- Head & Brain Injuries
- Other Personal Injuries
Whiplash
Whiplash is most commonly caused by car accidents, but also triggered by a range of other incidents and occurs when the soft tissue in the spine is strained and stretched as a result of the body being thrown forwards in a sudden and forceful jerking motion.
Using a car crash as an example, being hit from behind would send the body forward whilst the head is thrown backwards. The force of the movement is beyond what nature built the body to endure, and so the muscles and the ligaments around the neck are likely to get abnormally stretched. The doctors would describe this as the hyperextension part of the injury.
The hyperflexion bit occurs when the head is then thrown forwards because the brakes have been instinctively slammed or the car has come to a crunching halt against another vehicle. This is likely to cause the neck to over-bend to such an extent that the chin strikes the chest, compounding the damage that has already been done.
This whole process usually takes place within less than a second, yet whiplash can cause weeks, months, or, in severe cases, even years of agonizing pain and unnecessary hassle.
It is possible to recover fairly quickly from whiplash injury, however, it is also possible to develop chronic conditions as a result of the whiplash, that may stay with you for the rest of your life. It is imperative, therefore, that anybody suffering any of the following symptoms in the days after a car crash seeks medical advice immediately. And remember, even accidents at low speeds can result in whiplash, so it’s best to get yourself checked out if you’re experiencing any of the following conditions and symptoms:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Blurred vision
- Lower back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Numbness or pain in the arm or hand
- Concentration difficulties
- Ringing in the ears
- Irritableness
If you do find that you’ve been left with whiplash as the result of an accident that wasn’t your fault, you could be well within your rights to make a compensation claim. You may be entitled to money to recompense you for any pain and suffering that you’ve been forced to endure, as well as reimbursement for loss of earnings and medical expenses.

Spine Injuries
Spine injuries arising from car accidents and motor accidents, are a life changing event and if the injury was sustained in a non fault accident you are rightfully entitled to claim personal injury compensation. When deciding to make a claim for personal injury compensation, it is important to ensure all your care needs and medical expenses and costs are met and the maximum amount of compensation is obtained for your future needs. By completing our FREE online Injuries Compensation Enquiry Form we will put you in contact with compensation legal specialists who will provide you with all the help and guidance you need to be able to successfully pursue the maximum compensation you are entitled to – at no cost to you.
There are two types of spinal cord injury - complete and incomplete. A complete spinal cord injury is one that at the point of injury has totally cut the passage of signals between the brain and the body. There is no function below the level of the injury - no sensation and no voluntary movement. Both sides of the body are equally affected. A person with an incomplete injury may be able to move one limb more than another, be able to feel parts of the body that cannot be moved, or may have more functioning on one side of the body than the other. With the advances in acute treatment of spinal cord injury, incomplete injuries are becoming more common.
If you (or someone you know) have suffered a spinal cord injury or back injury in a car accident or any other type of accident that was not your fault, we can help you claim compensation for your injury and the pain and suffering it has caused.

Back Injuries
One of the most common types of accident resulting in a back injury is a car accident. A back injury can result the neck damage following a whiplash injury can include back and shoulder pain. A back injury can cause damage to discs, nerves, or muscles resulting in varying levels of discomfort, pain or disability depending on the severity of the injury.
There are many different medical costs and treatment expenses incurred as a result of back injuries. Some of these include: expenses for medical attention, pain relief, medicine, physical therapies (e.g. physiotherapy), surgery, retraining, physical aids, rehabilitation services and counselling.
If you (or someone you know) have suffered a back injury in a car accident or any other type of road accident that was not your fault, then we can help you pursue compensation for your personal injury and the pain and suffering it has caused.

Head & Brain Injuries
Head injury and brain injury accidents are usually a life altering event for both the person involved and their family. Each year thousands of people suffer from a head injury or brain injury as a result of a car accident, car crash or road traffic accident, and many of which result in a permanent disability.
Head injury, brain injury or any injury involving some type of blow to the head, is one of the most common types of injury following an accident. A head injury can range from relatively minor damage to the scalp and face, such as cuts and bruising, to more serious consequences involving damage to the brain.
In the case of a serious head injury or brain injury it can be many years for the full effect of the injury to be known. Unlike other injuries, brain injury can have a devastating impact on a person’s life - understanding and coping with the effects can be difficult for the individual and their loved ones and can put enormous pressure on the family and people around them.
It is important that any permanent or future problems that are likely to result from a head injury or brain injury are properly identified and that you receive the best possible award for your personal injuries compensation claim.
If you (or someone you know) have suffered a head injury or brain injury in a car accident or any other type of accident that was not your fault, we can help you pursue a successful claim for personal injuries compensation.

Regardless of the circumstances in which your injury occurred it is essential for you to seek specialist advice in order to ensure that all the issues relating to your care and assistance in the future are considered as part of your accident compensation claim.
Key considerations for a serious head injury or brain injury claim:
- Rehabilitation and treatment costs
- Adaptations to your home or the purchase of a new home
- Current and future care and case management need
- Future employment and possible retraining
- Specialised equipment including transport and wheelchairs
- Loss of consciousness, even for a brief moment, is one of the clearest indications that the brain may have been affected by a blow to the head. Other indicators of injury to the brain are where a person displays a confused state of mind, involving uncertainty about time, date, and location and/or a period of memory loss for the events surrounding the head injury or brain injury.
Any of these symptoms following a blow to the head should be taken seriously.
Symptoms that would cause concern after a head injury can include:
A bad headache that gets worse or doesn't go away within four to six hours after the head injury occurred
Drowsiness; especially if it lasts for more than two hours, or if the person is difficult to wake up. A certain amount of drowsiness is very common after a head injury, especially in young children
Confusion and disorientation
Feeling or actually being sick is common following a head injury, but if it is persistent or appears to be getting worse, it could be serious.
If you (or someone you know) have suffered a head injury or brain injury in a car accident or any other type of accident that was not your fault, we can help you claim compensation for the pain and suffering it has caused.

Other Personal Injuries arising from car and road accidents
Car accident and personal injury compensation claims can often involve complicated injuries which can have a major impact on the injured person’s life.

Some other common personal injury claims arising from car accidents and road accidents include neck injury and shoulder injury.
Neck pain can range from mild discomfort to a severe and excruciating pain. A common cause of neck injury is a car accident in which a sudden acceleration of the head, caused by a high speed impact, results in the tearing of muscles, ligaments, and other soft-tissues.
The common symptoms of a neck injury include:
- Headaches/migraines
- Painful and stiff neck muscles
- Numbness or tingling in the shoulders, arms and hands
- Sudden and intense pain can cause irregular neck posture, making the head to roll to one side.
The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. However, it is an unstable joint because of the range of motion allowed. A common cause of a shoulder injury is a car accident which disrupts the soft tissues that protect the shoulder socket. The shoulder is vulnerable to injury because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. To remain stable, the shoulder must be anchored by its muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, car accident or other road accident and suffered personal injury - either as a driver, passenger, pedestrian, motorcycle rider or cyclist - you may be entitled to a personal injury compensation claim and any other losses if someone else was at fault.
If you have been injured in a car accident or road accident, then you may be entitled to significant compensation. To find out what compensation you could receive for your personal injuries please complete our no obligation, FREE online Injuries Compensation Enquiry Form, on the right.
Some other motor accident claims include:

Car and road traffic accident claims
A small proportion of car accident injuries may be life-threatening, or may result in permanent or temporary disability. However it is more common to suffer what is termed a less severe injury in a car accident, such as a whiplash injury. Even though it is classed as a less severe injury, whiplash can be incredibly painful and in serious cases the symptoms can last for months.
Car and road traffic accident claims If you have been involved in a car accident, collision, or other road traffic accident (RTA), you can testify to the disruption it can cause in your life. If you have also suffered an injury as a driver or passenger, that disruption can be far worse. You may have to take time off work to recover from your injuries, resulting in a loss of earnings.
If you have been injured in a car accident that wasn’t your fault you may have grounds to make a car accident claim and win compensation for the injuries you have sustained – as the driver, passenger, or, another third party involved in the accident, if you have been knocked down by a car, for example.
Passengers In A Car Accident
Passengers are innocent victims in a vehicle and can be from either, the fault or non-fault side. Passengers are not in-charge of the vehicle at hand. Therefore they can always make a successful compensation claim provided they have been to a hospital or visited a doctor.
A passenger can be in the form of, a husband, wife, child, cousin or a friend, at fault or not, they are entitled to make a car accident compensation claim.
Some of the more common causes of car accidents include:
• Speeding
• Failure to stop
• Failure to obey signs and traffic lights
• Failure to signal
•Driving dangerously for the weather conditions
• Driving under the influence (alcohol and drugs)
• Reckless driving
• Speeding,
• Lane changing
• Failure to give way
• Using mobile phones
• Car defects
• Broken traffic lights
If you or a loved one has been harmed or injured in a car accident, a car accident lawyer can help you determine if another driver's negligent actions were to blame.
Injuries range from psychological to physical injuries including: cuts, bruises, and soft tissue injuries to catastrophic injuries including head, neck, and spinal cord injuries, loss of limbs, orthopedic injuries and neurological injuries.

• Car crash and collision accidents
• Motorbike accidents
• Passenger accidents
• Bus and Coach accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Bicycle accidents
If you have suffered injuries as the result of any of the above types of accident, then you could be able to claim compensation for a road traffic accident.
Car Accident Compensation
As with all road accident claims, to be eligible to claim compensation, you must not be at fault. If however the accident was your fault, this would render you unable to claim compensation. Remember, passengers can always claim regardless of who was at fault.
Car accidents are one of the most common road traffic accident types, simply because of the sheer volume of cars on our roads today. One momentary lapse of concentration is all that is needed for a serious accident to occur.

You should seek medical advice immediately after any crash, where you can be assessed for injuries, which is where you could be diagnosed with whiplash.
Passenger Accident Compensation
If you were a passenger of a vehicle involved in a collision with another vehicle, be it a car, bus, van, motorbike or even a taxi then you too could be eligible for compensation.
Your claim would be made against the insurance company of the person driving. This could be the person driving the vehicle you were in, or another party.

Compensation for a Motorbike Accident
If you have been injured in an accident on a motorcycle which wasn’t your fault, either by the careless negligent actions of another motorist, or riding on poor road conditions which should have been kept in a better state of repair, then you should be able to claim for compensation for your injuries, loss of earnings and any other expenses.
Bus Accident Compensation
Generally, busses are a safe way to travel, but are not immune to crashes and other types of accidents.
You could make a successful claim for compensation if you have been a passenger injured in a bus crash, or an innocent party a bus crashes into, or caused injury by the bad driving of a bus driver.
A collision is not necessary to make a claim for compensation, you could easily be injured by the bus driver braking hard, going round a roundabout too fast or another dangerous action.
Unless the driver has a reasonable defence for his or her actions, like they were responding to an emergency situation, then you should be able to claim compensation for your injuries. You should get the names, numbers and addresses of other witnesses, and if a large number of passengers were injured, you could have grounds for a group action claim. You should try and get the bus drivers identification number too.

Pedestrian Accident Compensation
These type of accidents can happen to anyone on foot on the pavement, crossing or on the road. You should be able to claim compensation if the accident happened in the last 3 years.
Being struck by a vehicle can have serious repercussions, especially if the vehicle was not obeying the speed limit. Claiming compensation for being hit by a vehicle could be simple, like if you were on the pavement and a vehicle mounted the pavement and hit you accidentally – or it could be a complicated process, like if you were attempting to cross the road between passing traffic, not on a pedestrian crossing, where blame could pointed in either or both directions.

Whiplash Claim
Whiplash is an injury to the soft tissue in the neck and is a common injury caused by road traffic accidents, such as motorbike accidents and car accidents.
Whiplash injury occurs when the accident has caused the neck to be jolted or jerked violently one way and then rapidly the other way. If a vehicle suddenly decelerates, like in an emergency stop, or suddenly hits something, the sudden jerk can cause the soft tissue in the spine to stretch and strain, and the muscles, nerves and tendons of the neck to stretch. The whiplash injury can be caused by a sudden deceleration or impact at any speed, the vehicle does not necessarily need to be going fast.
The extent and severity of the whiplash injury depends on the type of accident and factors like whether the person was sitting with their head facing sideways and the distance between the head and headrest. Whiplash can vary from short-term discomfort or pain to long-term problems and even disability. Some people suffer with symptoms for years, others are lucky and the injury gets better quickly.
Other causes of whiplash injury include a violent blow to the head, perhaps in an assault, or repetitive damage to the muscles, tendons and vertebrae in the neck.
Whiplash SymptomsWhiplash injury is not always obvious straight away, so it is worth seeking medical treatment and getting a check-up even if you are not in any pain. It can be diagnosed by a thorough examination and by x-ray, which will also highlight if there are any fractures in the vertebrae of the neck.
Common symptoms of whiplash injury include neck pain, pain in the shoulders and arms, tingling in the arms, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, temporary loss of memory, stiffness, muscle spasms, nausea, sickness and loss of mobility in the neck. Usually these symptoms clear up within a month and have no long-lasting effects. However, severe whiplash injury can have symptoms that go on for months and even years, and can cause psychological effects like depression and loss of libido.
Claiming Whiplash Injury CompensationYou should be able to claim personal injury compensation for your whiplash injury if the road traffic accident or blow to your head was not your fault. A whiplash injury can have a major impact on your life - long term pain, loss of earnings, the inability to carry on with your job, long term medical issues and other legal entitlements.
If you would like legal advice from a motor accident lawyer, then please complete your free legal enquiry form.
To be able to claim personal injury compensation successfully, you must make sure that your injury is recorded. Notify the police of the accident and make sure that you obtain the driver's details, witness details, registration numbers of all vehicles concerned and the insurance details of all people involved. You should also get medical attention for your injury so that you can get adequate treatment and also so that there is a record of your injury and the extent and severity of it.

Motorbike Accident Claim
Motorbike accidents can cause serious injuries and have devastating results because motorcyclists do not have the protection that car drivers and other drivers have. Motorcyclists are very vulnerable road users because they do not have the protective cage between them and the object they hit, and also do not have safety measures like seatbelts.
Motorcyclists can be injured by being crushed by other vehicles, by being catapulted into the air, by colliding with other vehicles, barriers or other hazards, by being thrown across the road or by going underneath lorries and trucks. According to statistics and accident records, the five most common motorbike accidents are caused by:-
A motorcyclist losing control of the motorbike.
Collisions with other vehicles at junctions.
A motorcyclist failing to negotiate a left hand bend on a country road.
A motorcyclist failing to negotiate a right hand bend on a country road.
Collisions while overtaking.
Any of those types of accidents can cause serious injury, long term health problems, amputations, disability and even death. The most common injuries sustained by motorcyclists are:-
"Road rash" - This is soft tissue damage which results from a motorcyclist sliding across tarmac, gravel or other road surfaces. This type of injury can be even more severe if the rider was not wearing adequate protection.
Head injuries - Obviously these can range in severity from whiplash type injuries and cuts to severe brain damage.
Biker's Arm - Damage to the nerves in the upper arm.
Spine and neck injuries.
Fractured pelvis.
Joint and limb fractures.
Facial disfigurement or scarring.
Although some motorbike accidents are caused by the carelessness or recklessness of the riders, many accidents are caused by the negligence of others. If you or a member of your family have suffered a motorbike accident which was someone else's fault, you should be able to claim personal injury compensation for the accident. This compensation can be useful in allowing you to get on with your life, to have the medical care you need and to make up for lost earnings or lost future earnings.
A specialist personal injury solicitor will be able to advise you on your particular case and let you know whether you do indeed have a case for personal injury compensation. Many personal injury lawyers will work on a no win no fee basis.
