Accidents on the motorway

Of all the accident claims made in the UK, motoring is one of the most common causes of the incidents for which people claim compensation. With millions of cars on Britain's roads, it is sadly unsurprising that thousands of car crashes occur each day and cause personal injuries.

It may seem surprising, but statistically motorists are less likely to be involved in an accident whilst travelling on the motorway. However, because of the speed at which vehicles are travelling, when crashes do happen they often lead to more serious injuries and more complex accident compensation claims.

There are many causes of motorway accidents and one of the most prevalent is tiredness. Worryingly, a third of drivers believe that they often drive whilst too tired, whilst one in ten people who drive for work admit that they have fallen asleep behind the wheel at some point during the past year.

Another common cause is speeding, as 33 percent of motorists believe it is acceptable to drive at 90mph on the motorway when there is no traffic. This is very concerning when you consider that nine people die each day in Britain as the result of a motorway crash.

One of the silent killers' of motorway driving is mechanical maintenance of your vehicle, as six percent of all motorway fatalities are caused by accidents involving vehicles with under inflated tyres. Even if you pull over with tyre issues you could still be at risk, as more than a thousand people are killed each year standing on the hard shoulder.

If you have been involved in a motorway car crash which resulted in personal injury, an accident claims solicitor can help you claim financial justice for the pain you have suffered. At Claims Solicitors our team of legal experts can offer knowledgeable advice on how to proceed with your claim in order to successfully claim monetary compensation.
