Have you been injured on the road abroad? 

If you have been involved in a road traffic accident abroad, whether as a driver, passenger or pedestrian then you may be able to claim compensation. For example, if you have been injured as a pedestrian or passenger, you may be able to claim compensation against the driver involved. 

Even if you were injured by an uninsured driver or the victim of a “hit and run” involving an untraced driver, you may still be able to succeed with a claim for compensation. For example, if you were injured in an EU country, you will normally be entitled to recover compensation from a centrally administered motor insurance bureau, which has been established to ensure that victims of road traffic accidents do recover compensation in these sorts of cases. 

It may be possible, depending on the circumstances, to bring a claim in the UK. For example, the 4th European Motor Directive allows you to submit a claim in the UK if you are injured in another EU country by a vehicle insured in an EU country. The claim is brought directly against the driver’s insurers or their claims representatives in the UK. 

In other cases, claims may be made abroad, for example against the driver or the insurer of the vehicle. In some countries, such as France, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists may have an automatic right to claim compensation for a road traffic accident, even if nobody is as fault. 

In a successful claim, damages can be substantial and we have successfully recovered compensation in many road traffic accident cases around the world, including the case studies on the next page. 

Liability can be complex, and we are happy to offer free initial advice.

Knee injuries have no particular rhyme or reason. It could happen due to many reasons due to its importance and position in the human anatomy. Knee injury generally results in pain and the following tips would help you reduce it. Specific situations may warrant a consultation with the physician’s or doctor.  For athletes: Putting more pressure in a lesser amount of time results in knee injuries. Training should be increased gradually especially in running sports. A weekly limit of 10% increment in training schedules has been tested to comfortable on the hind limbs and it should be followed to prevent training related knee injuries. A 10% increment in load, time or mileage is beneficial, anything above it maybe detrimental to the knees.  Strengthen your Knees: A physician checks your knees in the event of a knee injury, for muscular weakness or muscle imbalance. This is primary factor to be assessed in the event of a knee injury. Muscle imbalance can be a source of pain. Knee strengthening is useful to rectify imbalances and weaknesses of the knee. The training schedule should include quads, hamstring and calf strengthening also to give optimum and strong support to the knee.

Co-ordination exercises coupled with proprioceptive training helps keeps the knees in good health and prevents knee injury. Using correct and well fitting footwear also reduces the risk of knee injury.  Kinds and Concerns: The present and serious knee injury concerns relate to anterior cruciate ligament. This kind of knee injury is mostly observed in the age group of 15 to 25 and is caused by rotating or pivotal motion in sports like football, handball, skiing or basketball. The incidence of this knee injury is more in women than in men due to relatively weaker anatomical structure and imbalance of a female human body compared to the male human body. 

This injury is also attributed to use of a new kind of footwear – “Carving ski’s” and “stiff” ski boots. This knee injury in particular takes very long time to heal and may result in abnormal joint movements and accelerates the onset of degenerative joint diseases. This knee injury can be caused by extrinsic as well as intrinsic factors related to a particular sport or movement and internal weaknesses. The only way to avoid this knee injury is to improve knee control and by following structured training programmes focusing on neuro-muscular knee control.  If You Have Suffered a motor accident, whiplash injury, accident at work, medical negligence, faulty goods, criminal injury, slip or trip, industrial injury, accident in a public place or would just like some advice, please don’t hesitate to give us a call on 08000 71 22 71 for any personal injury, accident claim.
