Back

Our roads are becoming ever more crowded and more and more young people are learning to drive. Road traffic accidents can happen and when they do we know what is required.

Farnworth Shaw have handled road traffic accident claims for many years and we regularly deal with cases for:

• Drivers
• Passengers
• Pedestrians
• Cyclists

In many cases, the injuries we have dealt with have been serious, even fatal. We are particularly interested in representing clients who have had head injuries.

The consequences of these injuries to the injured person and their family can be devastating. We believe that our function is to try and help our injured client overcome their problems and restore their lives.

We do this by working closely with respected doctors and outside experts in a variety of specialist disciplines.

Case Study

Elizabeth was 9 years old when she had a road traffic accident. She had been on a trip to the seaside with her mum, dad, brother and sister. On the way back, an oncoming car collided with them. Her mum, dad, brother and sister were all killed and she was left with a serious head injury.

With our help, and that of the other driver’s insurance company, we were able to provide Elizabeth with a place to live, someone to look after her and financial security for the rest of her life. The total amount needed to do this was £1.3 million.

Why You Need a Solicitor

Road accidents wreck the lives not only of those who are injured or killed but also their families. The practical and financial consequences can be devastating.

A solicitor has a deep legal and technical insight into the issues that matter and puts his client’s interests first. Such qualities are often lacking in unqualified representatives.

Farnworth Shaw cannot turn back the clock but we will do our best to help you or your family cope with the aftermath of a road accident by providing competent and experienced legal help.
