Lorry & HGV Accidents

Road accidents that involve lorries and HGV vehicles are more likely to result in serious injuries and fatalities than accidents just involving cars because they are more likely to result in accident victims being thrown from their vehicles.

If you or a loved one were involved in accident with a lorry or other HGV and you received injuries of any severity, then you should speak to a specialist about whether you qualify to make a compensation claim.

Even seemingly minor injuries such as sprains or whiplash can cause financial difficulty if they result in an inability to work. Compensation could help with your day to day expenses while you recover. If however, you suffered a brain, spine or other serious injury then compensation can ensure that you receive the best ongoing treatment and care.

Road Accident Claims and the Law

Driver fatigue and poor weather are the most common causes of lorry accidents. However speeding and aggressive driving can also lead to road accidents.

The company that runs the lorry or HGV has a responsibility to ensure the safety of both the driver and other road users when the vehicle is out on the road. Drivers must not be allowed to work more than the legal set number of hours and regular vehicle checks must be done to ensure the lorry/HGV is safe to drive.

If you have been involved in an accident with a lorry or HGV you may be able to make a claim for compensation. If you were the driver of the vehicle you may be able to make a work accident claim against your employer.

Call Precision Claims and one of our experienced team will be able to advise you on making a compensation claim. Tel 0844 704 1945 or enquire online and we will call you back.
