Car Accident Compensation Claims

The UK has one of the best records for road safety in the EU, and also compares favourably with countries such as Japan, Australia and the US.

Improvements to the road network, such as traffic calming road layouts and speed cameras have helped to reduce road accident casualty rates in recent years. Other contributing factors have been the improved safety measures in cars themselves. Safety cages, crumple zones, tensioned seat belts and multi air bag systems have all helped to make cars much safer nowadays.

However, road traffic accidents are still a leading cause of death and serious injury in this country. Figures from the Department of Transport show that in the year 2006, there were over 3,000 fatalities and 28,000 serious injuries. There were more than 258,000 recorded injuries in total.
