Losing someone in a road traffic collision is a devastating experience. The sudden death of a loved one brings immense grief, and while you may be entitled to make a wrongful death compensation claim in these cases, it can be difficult to think about the legal process on top of everything else.

If you’ve been involved in an accident and believe a cyclist was at fault, you may be wondering whether you can claim compensation. A bike accident may result in more serious injuries to the cyclist than anyone else involved. Nevertheless, whether you were the driver of a car, a passenger or another person involved in the collision, you may be able to seek compensation if the accident was not your fault.

If you have gone through the traumatic experience of losing a limb following a road traffic accident, you are likely facing a number of questions and uncertainties. Your immediate focus may be on treatment and recovery, but it is also natural to think about how your life may change in the weeks and months ahead. Concerns about your independence, ability to work and financial stability are likely to play on your mind. 

April marks Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month, a time to recognise the resilience of those living with limb loss or limb difference, while also raising awareness of the challenges they may face and the support available to them.
