Road traffic accidents are often traumatic incidents and litigation arising as a result is becoming more common as court awards increase and injured parties become more aware of the compensation that may be available to them.

Boltway Investigations in Stoke on Trent have vast experience in this field relating to accidents involving cars,  heavy goods vehicles,buses, farm equipment, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians.

The Service we offer to determine the precise cause of an accident

• Witness statements
  
• The parties involved
  
• The contributory factors
  
• The severity of any injuries

Road traffic accidents may be caused in many ways

• Excess speed
  
• Lack of attention
  
• Vehicle defect or inadequate maintenance
  
• Poor visibility arising from weather conditions, obstructions, time of day or road layout
  
• The influence of drink, drugs or fatigue

There may be more than one cause in which case contributory negligence might apply

We aim to establish

• Visibility available to the driver
  
• Road layout and design
  
• Stopping distances
  
• Weather conditions
  
• Speeds of the vehicles involved
  
• Vehicle stability
  
• The actions of those involved
  
• Condition and service history of the vehicles involved, including tyres
  
• Poor highway/pavement design and maintenance
