The Bank Holiday season is a time for many of us to hit the road. However, this increase in traffic can provoke an increase in the number of road traffic accidents. According to the PSNI’s Annual Report 2022/23 on Police Recorded Injury Road Traffic Collisions and Causalities, “There was a total of 5,057 injury road traffic collisions recorded, resulting in 61 fatalities, 874 people seriously injured and 6,904 slightly injured.“

In the aftermath of a road traffic accident, victims often find themselves with physical and mental injuries but also face the daunting task of seeking compensation for the harm they have endured. If you have been involved in a road traffic accident, the first and foremost priority is to seek immediate medical attention. This not only ensures your well-being but also establishes a crucial record of injuries, medical treatment and related expenses.
