What If the Driver You Were With Was Partly At Fault?

Even if the driver of your vehicle shares blame, you can still claim compensation. We investigate liability across all parties to protect your right to recover damages.

Passenger Claims for Children

If your child was injured as a passenger, you can make a claim on their behalf. Although the legal time limit starts on their 18th birthday, it’s best to act early while evidence is fresh.

Severe passenger injuries: £25,000+
