Have you been involved in a road traffic accident (RTA)? Regardless as to whether you were a driver, passenger or pedestrian, we’re able to take the complications and stress out of making a claim and our goal is for you to get back on the road as quickly as possible.
RTA claims can be made depending on the type of accident that has happened. RTA claims can be made for both direct and personal injuries such as:
- Whiplash injury
- Airbag injury
- Seat belt injury
- Child restraints injury
An RTA can occur because of numerous reasons. Most car accidents occur mainly because of;
- Negligence – this can range from mobile phone use, eating or drinking, changing music in the car, to alcohol or drug consumption while driving.
- Weather conditions – Road accidents can occur in many instances due to perverse weather conditions such as snow, rainy weather and icy roads.
- Recklessness – driving with no concern for traffic signs is another major cause of road accidents. Speeding too can be termed as recklessness and distractions in or outside of the car can also lead to road mishaps.
- Poor road maintenance – poor roads are another leading cause of road accidents. Construction, poor road signs and potholes are examples of poor road maintenance.
- Car malfunction – cars will in most cases have a system failure system where one of the devices may have stopped functioning. Common equipment that may fail in the car include the brakes, poor road tyre traction and steering wheel malfunction.
