A single reckless decision on the road can have life-changing consequences. In this case, our client was driving responsibly and lawfully through a green traffic light when another driver suddenly cut across their path. The manoeuvre caused a forceful collision—leaving our client with painful physical injuries and significant emotional distress.
As a result of swift legal action and clear evidence, NJS Law secured £18,000 in compensation for our client after this non-fault road traffic accident claim.
Our client was proceeding through a junction on a green light, with no reason to anticipate danger. At the same moment, a driver travelling from the opposite direction attempted a hazardous manoeuvre and failed to give way, cutting directly into our client’s route.
The outcome was unavoidable: a serious crash that caused immediate injury and longer-term disruption to everyday life.
Sadly, road traffic accidents often cause not only visible physical injuries but also longer-lasting pain and trauma. Our client’s injuries included:
Broken arm, requiring medical treatment and recovery time
Whiplash, leading to neck pain, stiffness, and restricted movement
Emotional trauma and distress, affecting confidence and wellbeing after the collision
These injuries impacted day-to-day activities, comfort, and overall quality of life—factors that are essential when valuing road traffic accident compensation.
If you’ve been injured in a non fault road traffic accident, you may be entitled to compensation.

Clear advice on your next steps
Every successful RTA compensation claim depends on proving the key elements: fault, injury, and impact. This case succeeded because the evidence strongly supported our client’s position from the start.
Liability was straightforward because:
The other driver made a dangerous manoeuvre and failed to proceed safely
Our client was driving lawfully and responsibly
The collision occurred through no fault of our client’s own
Establishing liability early is crucial in non-fault road traffic accident claims, as it reduces delays and helps move the case forward efficiently.
This was not a minor injury claim. The combination of:
a fracture,
soft tissue injury (whiplash),
and emotional distress
meant the overall impact was significant and required proper valuation to reflect pain, recovery time, and disruption.
Our client contacted NJS Law promptly, allowing our team to:
secure evidence early,
document injury severity,
