Car Accidents
In a lot of cases blame for the car accident will be clear cut. If it is not, obtaining witness statement evidence, a copy of the police records and in some cases an accident reconstruction expert’s report will be essential. We will also consider whether there has been a breach of the Highway Code.
If a lorry or a commercial vehicle is involved we may need to obtain copies of tachograph records or maintenance and repair records
Claims for compensation for car accidents can include claims for the following:
