Most common causes of injuries to car drivers and passengers

Car accidents in Sale and across the UK are caused by a wide range of factors. The most common causes include:

Drivers failing to look properly, often due to distraction or complacency on familiar roads
Tiredness, with fatigue contributing to serious high-speed collisions
Speeding, reducing reaction times and increasing the force of impacts
Reckless driving behaviours such as tailgating or changing lanes without care
Driving under the influence of drink or drugs
Uninsured or untraceable drivers, often handled through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau
Poor road conditions such as potholes or spillages
Vehicle defects that lead to loss of control

These situations can cause anything from minor soft tissue injuries to catastrophic harm. Whatever the circumstances, our Sale car accident solicitors will assess your case, gather the necessary evidence, and tirelessly work to secure the compensation you deserve.

Who do we help in road traffic accidents in Sale?

As well as drivers, road traffic accidents affect passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders and motorcyclists. The Highway Code highlights that the last three groups in particular are among the most vulnerable road users, and their injuries are often severe.

At Slater Heelis, our clients often include:

Drivers or passengers suffering from whiplash injuries caused by rear-end collisions
Drivers injured in crashes involving another motorist
Cyclists struck by vehicles or harmed by dangerous road surfaces
Motorcyclists who have suffered serious injuries in collisions
Pedestrians injured by careless or reckless driving

If you’ve been affected by an accident on the road in or around Sale, our team is ready to help you make a claim.

Is there a time limit on contacting a car accident lawyer?

Yes. In most cases, you have three years from the date of your accident to make a personal injury claim. This period is known as the limitation period, and court proceedings must begin within this timeframe. However, there are exceptions.

If a child is injured in a car accident, they have until their 21st birthday to start a claim. If the injured person lacks mental capacity, the three-year limit doesn’t apply unless and until capacity is regained. Different rules may also apply to accidents abroad, where time limits can be shorter.

Because of these strict deadlines, it’s always best to seek advice as soon as possible after your accident. That way, we can begin gathering evidence and medical reports while everything is still fresh.
