Successful Road Traffic Accident Cases
Road traffic accident compensation
Irwin Mitchell have vast experience in dealing with claims for compensation where drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians have been involved in road traffic accidents. Below is a selection of some of the cases we typically deal with.
A Leeds man received £2,200 in compensation after being involved in a collision whilst riding his bike to work. He suffered a whiplash injury to his neck and the bike and equipment was damaged in the accident.

A Leeds man received £3,450 in compensation after being involved in a rear end shunt in Leeds city centre in May 2007. He suffered bruising to his spine which exacerbated pre-existing back problems.
Psychological damages from road traffic accidents
As well as the physical injuries sustained from road traffic accidents, we also have experience in claiming for psychological damage as a result of the trauma from severe accidents:
A York woman received nearly £35,000 compensation after a road traffic accident left her with psychological injuries.
She was travelling as a passenger when the vehicle she was in was involved in a crash on the A64. She suffered a fractured sternum and fourth and fifth metacarpal bones in the dominant hand. As a result of this, she has been unable to continue the role of main carer for her disabled daughter.
As a result of the accident, also, Ms X has developed a fear of driving.
