Road Traffic Accidents
Road traffic accident claims can involve anything from the most minor of bumps to catastrophic accidents resulting in life-changing injuries.
Whatever your case, our road traffic accident solicitors can help you pursue the compensation to which you are entitled.
Sometimes it might not be clear-cut as to who is responsible for the collision and therefore it is important to instruct an experienced car accident solicitor to advise on your claim.
Your rights to a specialist road accident solicitor
If you or your loved one have been involved in a road traffic accident, you will probably find that your insurance company is keen to deal with your legal case. However, it is your right, and yours alone, to decide who represents you in a compensation claim. If you have legal expenses insurance as part of your motor insurance policy, we can liaise with your insurer to ensure you are able to choose us as your nominated solicitor under that policy.
As well as physical injuries, you may suffer psychological problems associated with the accident. You may also be unable to return to work for a while or need a hire car while your vehicle is being repaired. We will provide you with the right legal advice to deal with all aspects of your claim arising as a result of your road traffic accident.
We understand that for many people it is not just about compensation. You may require early rehabilitation to assist with your recovery, or need support dealing with an inquest if someone died in the accident. Whatever support you need, our team of experienced road traffic accident solicitors will guide you every step of the way to ensure you get the compensation you are entitled to.
Our team now includes former Morgan Jones Pett specialist personal injury expert Sara Westwood who works alongside Colin Cook.

Our expertise
Road traffic cases are often considered the most simple and straightforward cases. Our road accident solicitors have, on many occasions, acted on behalf of individuals dissatisfied with an outcome to contest the way in which claims have been handled by their own insurer panel firms. Our team has also successfully recovered damages for individuals who had elements of their injury previously overlooked (for example, a subtle head injury and chronic pain).
