Hatch Brenner Solicitors Supports National Road Victim Month

The charity selected August as the month of remembrance for their campaign to commemorate the lives of Bridget Driscoll, who was the first person to be killed by a motor vehicle in August 1896, and Princess Diana, who lost her life in a road traffic collision in August 1997, as well as the lives of the half a million people who have been killed on Britain’s roads since Bridget’s death.

At Hatch Brenner Solicitors we support the National Road Victim Month campaign to help raise awareness of road safety. According to the department of transport, August is one of the most dangerous months on the roads. This is due to the increased volume of traffic on our roads. This month many families are taking advantage of the warmer weather and there are often more cyclists and motorcyclists taking to the roads, traffic is heavier which results in more accidents.

If you find yourself, or a loved one, involved in a collision which you believe is cause for a claim, our specialist road traffic accident/collision solicitors can help you pursue the compensation you are entitled to.

Following the incident, you may find that your insurance company is keen to deal with your legal case. However, it is your right to decide who represents you in a compensation claim. If you have legal expenses insurance as part of your motor insurance policy, we can liaise with your insurer to ensure you are able to choose us as your nominated solicitor under that policy.

As well as physical injuries, you may suffer psychological problems associated with the accident. You may not be able to return to work for a while or need a hire car while your vehicle is being repaired. We will provide you with the right legal advice to deal with all aspects of your claim arising because of your road traffic collision.

Our team has successfully recovered damages for individuals who had elements of their injury previously overlooked (for example, a subtle head injury and chronic pain). Contact the team today to discuss your claim on 01603 660811 or email ali.masterson@hatchbrenner.co.uk.

Join on 31st August at 4pm for RoadPeace’s online “Voice of crash victims” webinar. It will explore why crash victims need more support than what is currently on offer and speaking to spokespeople of families who have had to fight for justice.

If you’ve been involved in a road traffic accident and are looking to pursue a compensation claim, consulting with personal injury claims solicitors can help you understand your rights and the claims process. They can offer expert guidance on how to handle your case, ensuring you are compensated for both physical and psychological injuries caused by the collision
