Work-Related Road Traffic Accidents

All jobs which require a large amount of driving, whether as the driver of an LGV, HGV or company car, present a high risk to employees. If you have suffered an injury in a work-related road traffic accident that was not your fault, you may be eligible to claim financial compensation.

Whether your employer or another road user was at fault, the experienced accident claims lawyers at Express Solicitors can help you prepare a claim that will ensure you receive maximum compensation for any pain and suffering or loss of earnings caused by the accident.

To arrange for an initial consultation regarding your 'no win, no fee' accident claim, call Freephone 0800 294 6250 or complete our enquiry form and we will get back to you.

Claims against Employers

Unfortunately, intensive driving jobs can often lead to road traffic accidents. In some circumstances, these accidents are the fault of the employer, as they have failed to conduct adequate:

• risk assessment;
• vehicle maintenance;
• loading procedures;
• journey planning;
• driver training;

At Express Solicitors, we understand how uncomfortable it can be to initiate a compensation claim against a past or current employer. Our accident claims team will provide legal advice, support and guidance throughout the course of your claim, helping you ensure you receive the compensation to which you are legally entitled, without damaging your reputation or relations with your employer.

Claims against Other Road-users

The most common causes of work-related road traffic accidents include:

• close-following;
• fatigue;
• speeding;
• use of a mobile phone whilst driving;
• observational errors;

If your accident was caused by the negligence of another road-user, you may be eligible to claim financial compensation for your injuries. It is important that you contact a solicitor as soon as possible with the necessary knowledge and expertise to provide a full and frank appraisal of your case's chances of success.

According to studies conducted by the Department for Transport, individuals employed in driving jobs are often involved in accidents due to another individual's negligence. Whether your road traffic accident was caused by fatigue, poor vehicle maintenance or a lack of adequate risk assessment, compensation is a legal entitlement, intended to help you pay for medical fees, rehabilitation costs and any loss of earnings incurred during a period spent out of work.
