Compensation Lawyer And Illegal Highway Accidents

Beware; we have modern-day “Dick Turpins’” at work on our roads, not quite “Stand and deliver” at gun point, but there’s a striking similarity.

Innocent drivers are being targeted in this frightening new crime which appears to spreading across the country. Effectively, we have an ambush situation.

This is what can happen :

You follow and old vehicle on the road and you approach a roundabout, junction or slip road. Suddenly, the car in front stops suddenly, but it had no working brake lights and so you run into the back of it.

There may be two cars involved. One is in front of you and another one may veer into its path, the car in front of you brakes hard and you crash into it.

If this happens to you, it is vital that you get in touch with a compensation lawyer who will be able to claim money back for you from these criminal motorists.

For the most part, these set-ups occur at busy roundabouts and slip roads. The instigators of these incidents are skilled at pinning the blame on the innocent motorist. These highwaymen of the present say are part of a larger group of people who run repair garages and have a number of cars in use. These firms present falsely inflated invoices for work carried out, hire of a car whilst the car is off the road and so on. They will then go on to make a claim for compensation so that the innocent driver’s insurance premiums go up. The highwaymen will carry the maximum number of passengers and they will all claim to be injured which means that even more compensation claims are logged. So the innocent are sometimes forced to find thousands of pounds to pay these criminals even though they have done nothing wrong.

insurers predict that there are at least 10,000 of these false claims and accidents made each year, and have put their guard up against them. With this in mind the Association of British Insurers have created an Insurance Fraud Bureau. They work to find these gangs so that they can be prosecuted by the police.

These gangs are putting innocent drivers and their passengers at risk. This crime needs to be stopped by everyone working together to uncover the criminals.
