Car Accident Claims Manchester
Probably the most common of all road traffic accidents are car crash claims due to the pure number of cars that are on UK roads.
They have a varied outcome from the mild “bump” where no injury could be sustained to a mild case of whiplash ranging to a very serious crash where the victim could suffer a variety of injuries including spinal cord injury, brain injury, disability or amputation.
These injuries are life altering to the victim who must now concentrate on their recovery process be it with treatments and/or medication which does result in having to re-learn how to perform basic tasks, such as going to the toilet, all over again.
This process can take a heavy toll on the psychology of the victim as they will be going through a lot of emotions (anger, sadness, denial etc) in regards to the accident, pre and post. Counselling is sometimes needed in order to help along with the psychological recovery process, which can take a significant period of time.
Car Accident Causes
The most common cause for having a car accident is “driver error“. This very vague term can range into a variety of other descriptive sub terms. A good explanation of all can these be found at the RoSPA website FAQ section. Other causes can include environmental factors such as cracks in the road, potholes in the road or faulty traffic lights.
