Work Related Traffic Accidents

Your Eligibility to Claim Compensation for a Traffic Accident

Carrs Solicitors bring many years experience at winning road traffic accident compensation claims acting for professional heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers, motorcycle couriers and other professional drivers both against third parties, employers, and those responsible for loading and operating any commercial vehicles.

In the UK alone, there are an estimated 40,000 traffic accidents that are thought to be work related. According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, work related car, lorry and HGV accidents are the largest cause of occupational fatalities. In many of these cases liability can be established against the driver's employers as we can prove that the underlying cause of the accident was failure to adequately risk assess, maintain, load, train or plan journeys and deliveries.

Your road accident may be because you were pressured into driving when tired or in hazardous weather conditions. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the courts increasingly recognise the duties of commercial fleet operators to assess and manage the risks to which professional drivers are exposed and the liability for damages this creates in the event of a road traffic accident.

Even if you are not strictly employed as 'a driver', but you have to drive as part of your work, you may still be entitled to recover compensation in circumstances where we can establish that a work related car accident occurred because of breaches of your employer's legal duty of care.
