Car passenger compensation claims can be made with ease through us. We have years of experience in gaining maximum compensation for passengers who are innocently injured in a car accident.
When a passenger gets into a car, they are putting their trust in the driver of the car and in most circumstances will reach their destination without any problems.
There are times when the driver of the car may lose concentration or get distracted in some way which may lead to an accident. Of course, sometimes the accident is out of the driver’s control where another road user or pedestrian is at fault for causing the accident. Regardless of who is at fault for the accident, we can help you claim the injury compensation you are entitled to as an injured passenger.
As a passenger the accident would not have been your fault, making a car passenger compensation claim easy to win.
The main injuries suffered by car passengers are whiplash and back injuries from the sudden jolt of the accident.
Any injury sustained would need to be recorded on medical records in order to claim car accident compensation.
To make your claim on a no win no fee basis and to receive all of the compensation awarded please contact us by clicking: Compensation for Car Passengers .
There are new proposals for dog owners which are under consideration. These new proposals could see dog owners having to have their dogs micro-chipped and take out third party insurance to cover injuries caused by dogs.
These new proposals will undergo a three month public consultation and would not become into force before a general election.
There are approximately 100 people per week who are attacked and injured by dogs. These figures since 1997 have risen from 60 dog attacks per week. Also there has been a rise in complaints about dog attacks.
Dogs can attack anyone but the most vulnerable are postman, the elderly and a child. It is often read in the papers on heard on the news, that in particular postmen and children suffer horrific dog bites in an unprovoked dog attack. Many children are just being friendly with a dog when it can suddenly attack. Of course, the vast majority of dogs will not harm anyone and are enjoyed as pets.
Under current legislation it is illegal to for any dog to be out of control in a public place or somewhere it is not meant to be, this does not include the property of the dog owner.
The new proposals could help encourage dog owners to act more responsibly, as any attack by their dog which results in an injury to someone, could result in the injured victim claiming off the dog owners insurance for injury compensation.
Dog insurance will enable innocent injured people to make a dog attack injury claim, which under current rules is often not possible. Claiming for a dog bite at present can be made if the owner has insurance. Dog bites from a pubs dog or one that belongs to another establishment could result in a claim for compensation as they should have the relevant insurance to cover these circumstances.
Here at the Accident Advice Bureau we strongly agree with these new proposals as they allow an injured victim of dog attacks to be able to make a dog attack claim for compensation. You can claim for dog attacks by clicking: Claim for Dog Bite.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes the polar explorer and man who has achieved huge fund raising for charities through various expeditions has been involved in a car accident in Stockport last week.
Witnesses to the car accident are being sought by the police. It is possible Sir Ranulph fell asleep at the wheel of his jaguar and caused the accident. Sir Ranulph attended hospital but was not believed to be seriously injured. A Nissan Micra and Ford Focus were also involved in the accident. The driver of the Micra had to be cut from the car, he also went to hospital with injuries, again not too serious, his young son sustained minor injuries as a back seat passenger.
Sir Ranulph had been taking part in a marathon in the Peak District prior to his car accident, it is not known if the marathon played a part in making him too tired to drive safely. Nobody as yet has been arrested for this car accident.
All motorists are advised to take regular breaks when driving long distances or when feeling tired to help avoid road accidents. Drivers who fall asleep at the wheel can be prosecuted for dangerous driving, for which there are stiff penalties.

If you suffered an accident involving moving or lifting a heavy weight, that was not your fault, an accident claim for injuries may be possible.
Here at the Accident Advice Bureau we recently accepted such a claim. The client was employed as a civil engineer and was working with a co worker, there were only two of them on site at the time of the work accident.
They had to get a ‘nut cracker’ out of the van to do their job working on underground pipes. The nut cracker weighed approx 90 kgs and very heavy. As they were getting the nutcracker out of the van the co worker slipped on the ground and dropped it. This suddenly gave our client all of the weight causing him to slip and fall out of the works van. He landed awkwardly twisting his right knee.
The employee was wearing his work supplied safety boots at the time and the accident which was recorded in the accident book.
Our client visited his doctor who diagnosed a knee injury and was referred to hospital who said he had suffered a torn cartilage in the knee.
If you have suffered a similar accident involving lifting or moving heavy weights a heavy weight accident at work claim may be possible with our help. All work claims are worked on a no win no fee basis and you will receive 100% of any injury compensation awarded.
An accident at home due to faulty electrics resulting in an electric shock, was the cause for an injury compensation claim being made by a lady who suffered injuries. The injured lady lives with her husband in their housing association house in Southampton.
The housing association house is fitted with an electric key meter. The meter had been reported to the housing association as being faulty and considered unsafe by the couple. The meter was said to be making odd noises and therefore the couple did not want to touch it to charge it up. The housing association came out and looked at the meter and said it was safe but the couple said they hadn’t rectified the fault. Shortly after, the meter gave the lady a bolt as she was putting the key in. This gave the lady sudden pains up her arm and the force injured her back.
The lady was already suffering from other medical conditions which were made severely worse following the electric shock. She went to hospital where her injuries were diagnosed. The pains from the electric shock injury lasted a couple of months.
The lady used our free service to fight her electric shock compensation claim on a no win no fee basis.
