Road Traffic Accidents<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/main><\/div><\/div>

The victims of road traffic accidents, whether pedestrians or drivers or passengers of a vehicle involved in an incident, are often entitled to compensation from the liable or partly liable person, as well as from the respective insurance company of the liable vehicle. Exceptionally in road traffic accidents the law allows for direct action against the liable vehicle\u2019s insurer, in conformity with the relevant European legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is very important for the victims of road traffic accidents to be represented before the investigating police and public prosecution authorities by a skillful and experienced lawyer, <\/span>right from the very beginning<\/span><\/i>, and to make sure that their rights are duly respected, by participating in witnesses\u2019 examinations and technical investigations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The quantum of compensation awarded by Courts may vary greatly, depending on the presentation and proof of the circumstances and the establishment of liability for the accident. This is where the representation by a law firm with knowledge and experience in this field plays a very significant role.<\/span><\/p>\n
