Injuries sustained in road accidents are some of the most common that no-win, no-fee solicitors handle each year. If you were injured in a road traffic accident through the negligence of another driver, you could have a strong case for compensation. Contact a no-win, no-fee solicitor as soon as you can and outline the circumstances that lead to your accident.
If a road accident occurs and leads to a death, it may be possible to make a criminal injury claim. Your criminal injury claim would be based on criminal liability. The types of offences that would come under this type of criminal injury claim would be death by dangerous driving, culpable homicide, causing death by careless driving when under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and manslaughter. Your solicitor can outline the specific requirements to make a criminal injury claim under these circumstances.

Anyone that has a member of their family, or even a friend killed as the direct result of a road accident that included negligence should seek legal advice as soon as possible. There is a time limit of three years after the death of the person you want to make a criminal injury claim for. The level of compensation you could receive is difficult to estimate as the specific circumstances of the death will be taken into consideration.

What is important is that you can prove with evidence that the death you are making a criminal injury claim for can be proven. If the death occurred because of drink driving for instance, using the police report that clearly shows this fact will make your criminal injury claim very strong indeed. If you have any questions about a possible claim you want to make, contact a no-win, no-fee solicitor, as they have vast experience they can drawn upon to advise you about the next step you should take.
