Compensation Lawyer And Organised Road Crimes
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. The drivers are ambushed into a situation they have no control over.
This is what can happen:
You are following a vehicle up towards a junction, a roundabout or a slip road, the vehicle is old. This vehicle, which often has no brake lights, brakes hard and you cannot avoid slamming into 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.
These “set up” crashes commonly occur at really busy roundabouts or motorway slip roads. The instigators of these incidents are skilled at pinning the blame on the innocent motorist. gangs are often behind these modern highwaymen and they are able to repair cars and have many vehicles working at once. These firms present falsely inflated invoices for work carried out, hire of a car whilst the car is off the road and so on. Then they will claim for compensation on the innocent motorist’s insurance which costs the innocent even more money. Often the vehicle which they use is an old banger, which will probably contain the maximum number of passengers, all claiming to have been injured in some way and seeking compensation for this and probably loss of earning too. So what was a minor accident has turned into a claim for thousands of pounds.
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. To deal with the massive problem, the Insurance Fraud Bureau has been set up by the Association of British Insurers. They work with the police to find these gangs and bring them to justice.
These gangs are putting innocent drivers and their passengers at risk. It is vitally important that insurers and drivers work together in a concerted effort to stop this crime.
