What are the road accident statistics?

  • Over 3,800 people were killed or injured in 2012 on British roads that were affected by ice and snow.
  • Nearly 1,800 of these incidents took place at night. 

What factors contribute to road accidents?

There are many different factors that come into play when a road traffic accident takes place. These will affect the speed of the incident, the severity of the injuries caused, and the question of who is responsible for the accident in the first place.

Some of the more common factors include:

Car accident injury claim

Jordan and others kept me up to date with every update on my claim progressing and were clear when explaining the process. I was never in the dark with how far along things were. Great communication both through phone calls and email.

Excellent service, above and beyond

It all began with a freak cycling accident on my way to work one oct morning in 2023, unbeknown to me was the cause of the accident was a pothole in the road , I have been cycling for 20years plus and had never experienced an incident like this, but needless to say that when I contacted Nicola at Thompsons she was willing to listen and filled me with confidence, subsequently the defendant settled today with what I can only describe as a generous offer , thank you Nicola

I have been dealing with Scarlett Small who has been excellent throughout the whole process. SHe has answered all questions promptly, given advice where required and guided me through the whole process. She has been thoroughly professional, explaining any jargon etc and fully explaining the process at each stage. I would highly recommend her and Thompsons Solicitors.
