If you are unfortunate enough to suffer a road traffic accident, which was not your fault, you might be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation.

Road traffic accident claims we have handled successfully include accidents involving:

Road traffic accidents account for as many as forty thousand serious injuries each year and thousands of fatalities. Fentons have one of the largest and most experienced road traffic accident teams in Britain with specialist teams experienced in handling complex cases involving long term programmes of rehabilitation.

Every year, fatal road traffic accidents cost thousands of lives, 40,000 serious injuries, three million NHS bed days, huge trauma, illness, and absenteeism. A report issued by the World Health Organisation warns that on current trends road traffic accidents could outstrip stroke and HIV as one of the main causes of preventable deaths by 2020.

Whether you were the driver or passenger of a car, motorcyclist or victim of a ‘hit and run’ you will, no doubt, have experienced severe pain and suffering and could be entitled to make a road accident compensation claim. Road accident claims are the most common cause of personal injury.

Fentons plays a prominent role in national road accident special interest groups and charitable organisations. The firm also provides training on legal topics for a number of regional police forces.
