In a traffic accident on November 27, a teenage drink-driver crashed a car then left the scene with her rear seat passenger frightened and trapped in the car. 

The injured car passenger was planning to get a taxi home after a night out in Camberley, then saw her friend Cooke. She climbed into the rear seat as Cooke’s boyfriend was a front seat passenger.

They travelled towards the roundabout near McDonalds in Farnbrough and the injured passenger said Cooke’s boyfriend was telling her to slow down as there was ice on the road and she was driving far too fast. The driver lost control of the car and hit metal railings.

The injured rear seat passenger said the front seat slid back trapping her and the car was filling with smoke. She said the driver left the car and started running from the crash scene. She was banging on the car window and Cooke’s boyfriend then released her before running away.

The emergency services attended the scene. The police found Cooke in the garden of her house and a breath test proved positive. Cooke was found to be over the legal drink drive limit, with 65 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath, the limit is 35.

Katherine Cooke, the drink driver, appeared at Aldershot Magistrates’ Court on December 9 and was banned from driving for 18 months.

We are sometimes asked if a claim can made for being injured as a passenger in a taxi. As a passenger injured in a taxi, a claim for injury compensation can be made with us. The accident and injury would not have been your own fault if there was a collision between vehicles or if the taxi driver was to hit something else or someone.

There was an accident in a taxi when the taxi driver mounted the kerb and hit a bollard in Portsmouth. The taxi passengers and driver were thrown with force in the car and suffered injuries. The front of the taxi was stuck on the island next to the bollard.

As the driver was at fault for hitting the bollard, he could not claim for any injuries suffered. However the taxi passengers were able to claim compensation having had their injuries diagnosed by a doctor.

Any accident in a taxi should be reported to the taxi company as soon as possible. The registration number of the taxi and the drivers name would help should a claim for compensation be made. Any witnesses to the taxi accident would also be useful if a claim is to be made.

Thousands of people across the country, every year, choose to take a holiday on cruise ship. Whilst on a cruise ship it is the responsibility of the operator to make sure the environment onboard the ship is safe. If you do suffer an accident on board a cruise ship, that was not your own fault, an accident claim after being injured on a cruise ship, may be possible with the help of the Accident Advice Bureau.

There are a lot of ways in which people can be injured on a cruise ship. Two of the most common involve slip or trips and faulty equipment. Slips and trips are common due to the large size of cruise ships, making all areas harder to maintain and monitor. Faulty equipment can occur due to the huge number of facilities often available whilst on board, such as sun beds or a gym.

Any accident that you suffer on board a cruise ship or cruise liner should be reported to a manger, recorded into an accident book and any witness details should be taken.

In order to make claim for injury compensation, the accident would need to be due to a third parties negligence and your injuries diagnosed by a doctor and on medical records.

If you have been injured on a cruise ship, all such claims here at the Accident Advice Bureau are worked on a no win no fee basis where 100% of any injury compensation won is awarded.
