Unfortunately the likelihood of being in a road traffic accident at some point in your life is quite high. Most people travel in cars or motorbikes everyday to get to work or take children to school. Being in a road traffic accident is a frightening experience and one that you would not like to repeat. A moderate road traffic accident can result in damage to the parties’ vehicles and some minor bodily injuries.
The injuries from a road traffic accident can be from quite minor to severe and even fatal. One of one of the most common road traffic accident injuries is whiplash injury. This is caused from a high speed impact or a forceful jerk. Most whiplash injuries are caused when a car rams into the back of your car, or rear-ends your car. The amount of compensation money you could receive from a whiplash accident could be anywhere between £750 to £86,000 depending on the severity of the injuries and how much you suffered as a result.

Motorcycle road accidents are another type of road traffic accident. It is approximated that 75% of all the motorcycle accidents are the result of a collision with another vehicle. Out of this percentage, 65% is due to the fact that the driver of the other vehicle failed to see the motorbike. I presume that most of those accidents were at night time when visibility is worse.
If you have been involved in a road traffic accident whether you were the driver of a car, the passenger of the car, a motorcycle driver, a motorcycle passenger, and the accident was not your fault, you maybe entitled to compensation. This is as long as the accident was in the last 3 years.
