RTA Claim: £28,000 Awarded After Client Hit While Stopped at Red Light

A £28,000 Compensation Pay-out for Road Traffic Injury

Stopped at a red light — it should’ve been safe. But one careless driver changed everything. Our client suffered serious physical injuries when they were hit from behind at a junction, leading to long-term nerve damage and life-altering pain.

🔍 What Happened?

It was just a regular day and a routine drive. Our client stopped at a red light, waiting for it to change — then, out of nowhere, they were rear-ended by another vehicle.

The consequences?

• Severe back pain
• Nerve damage
• Loss of sensation in one arm
• Time off work and ongoing rehabilitation

This wasn’t just an accident — it was a clear case of driver negligence.

✅ Why Were They Eligible for a Road Traffic Accident Claim?

To qualify for compensation after a road traffic accident (RTA), three legal conditions were clearly met:

1. Negligence from Another Driver
The driver behind failed to stop in time — a direct breach of the Highway Code and duty of care.

2. Physical Harm
Our client experienced:
• Chronic pain
• Nerve-related complications
• Disrupted quality of life

3. Proving Liability
With our help, fault was clearly established, and we gathered medical and witness evidence to support the claim.

4. Claim Made Within Time Limits
The case was filed well within the 3-year legal window for personal injury claims in the UK.
