There are over two million road traffic accidents on the UK’s roads each year. Unfortunately, a large number of these result in injuries to those involved. If you have been involved in an accident that was caused by another party’s negligence, then the chances are that you will be eligible to make a personal injury compensation claim. But did you know that even if you are partially responsible, you may still be able to personal injury compensation claim.
Many people who are involved in road traffic accidents may be unaware that if an insurer deems the liability to be shared (eg 50/50), then you can and should pursue a claim for 50 per cent of any loses you may have incurred.
