Cyclists are the most vulnerable group of road users as they can be hard to see on the roads especially by large vehicles such as lorries, they don’t move or manoeuvre as quick as normal vehicles, if a helmet isn’t worn then a cyclist’s whole body is at risk of injury.

PCP / Car Finance Claims
Have You Been Mis-Sold a Car Finance Agreement?
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) and other types of car finance have become one of the most common ways to buy vehicles in the UK. However, many customers have been mis-sold finance agreements by dealerships or lenders who failed to explain the full terms, risks, or commission structures involved. If this sounds familiar, you may be eligible to claim compensation.
Many people were not told that dealerships earned commission on finance deals—especially if that commission gave them an incentive to charge higher interest rates. In 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) banned discretionary commission models, but millions of agreements sold before this may be eligible for redress.

Slip and Trip Claims
Tripped or Fallen because something was unsafe?
Uneven pavements, poor lighting or wet floors are the usual cause of slips, trips and falls. These types of falls happen all the time and usually injuries occur from them, often due to poor maintenance by businesses, landlords and councils. The scope of injury can vary quite a lot depending on how bad the fall happened, it can range from minor cuts and sprains to bone breakages or head traumas.
Who is liable?
Sometimes these claims can be difficult to prove due to the nature of the claim and can therefore be difficult to receive compensation. However, if this has happened to you it is important to note down any information about the fall, you can figure out who is liable for a claim based on where exactly the accident happened. For example if it were to happen at a hotel or supermarket the owner of the premises is liable, if its on the street on a cracked pavement then the council would be the ones liable. If this has happened then make sure you take down any personal details of eyewitnesses as they can strengthen your case.
Road Traffic Accident Claims

Cars and Vehicles are now safer than ever however that does not mean that injuries still do not occur, people may escape minor accidents without virtually any injuries. Not everyone is quite that lucky as with people suffering from minor trauma to serious life changing or threatening injuries.
