Motor collisions cause 200,000 injuries every year. They are responsible for 3,000 deaths, and 40,000 serious injuries. They are also a source of injustice, with the key victims in the accident often not sufficiently compensated for the hardship they have faced. Do not be a victim in this way. You may be able to prove liability in a car accident claim and ensure you receive the damages you are due. To facilitate this we recommend that you make certain steps to preserve evidence and avoid being denied the compensation you may be owed.
