Article Body:
Most road traffic accident compensa
tion involves two drivers, with a d
river or passenger from the one veh
icle seeking compensation from the
driver of the second vehicle. Based
 on evidence that the accident was
caused through negligence. The road
 traffic accident compensation clai
m will lead to legal proceedings th
at will involve the driver and poss
ibly, passengers of both vehicles c
laiming injury as a result of the n
egligent driving on one the parties
 behalf . Typically, legal proceedi
ngs due to poor road design, will b
e against a local council. This can
 be on the basis that they to have
failed to install proper signs main
tained proper design or maintain a
A road, high street or motorway. A
road traffic accident compensation
claim may also include a product li
ability claim lodged toward the man
ufacturer of a car or car part, cla
iming design or manufacturing defec
t which lead to the accident. Also,
 if a car mechanic or garage left a
 car in an unsafe condition, liabil
ity may fall within their responsibility.

Unique Situations
Unique situations can often arise i
n a road traffic accident compensat
ion claim which make the legal proc
eedings more difficult. All parties
 involved may be liable for potenti
al injuries and this will be consid
ered during the course of any legal
 proceeding. Various issues that ca
n arise from the accident itself in
clude:

Leaving the scene of an accident: I
s not so uncommon in the UK where t
he driver who causes an accident fa
ils to stop at the place of the acc
ident. This will make it difficult
for the injured party involved make
 a positive ID and therefore bring
the driver to court.
Pedestrians and Road Accidents: In
such situations, a member of the pu
blic can suffer serious injuries as
 a result of a collision with a veh
icle. Often time the conduct of the
 pedestrian is called into question
 making it difficult to make a clai
m against the driver.
Motorbike & Car Accidents: Motorcyc
lists are very much at risk in rega
rds to personal injury when involve
d in a road traffic accident, even
in collisions which would be relati
vely minor had they occurred betwee
n cars. Due to the nature of some m
otorcyclists, it may be prove diffi
cult to obtain a far hearing from a
 jury as they're commonly deemed 'w
reckless' road users even if the ot
her party is clearly at fault.
Bicyclists & Car Accidents: Bicycli
sts are among the most vulnerable r
oad users. They are more likely to
sustain serious injury when hit by
cars or other vehicles. Various haz
ards such as doors opening in front
 of them are obvious causes of coll
isions as well as many others. Cycl
ists are often caught in the driver
s blind spot and they often report
that they did not see the bicyclist
 until it was too late.
Buses & Car Accidents: Bus accident
s can also be quite serious. Due to
 the sheer size, passengers carried
, a collision with a bus will not o
nly see other road users worst off,
 but unmanaged passengers can also
add to the already heated mix of a
road accident. Any road traffic acc
ident compensation claim will also
be taken up with the operator of th
e bus not just the driver.
Unsafe road conditions: Where thing
s like road debris and poor, uneven
 road surfaces abound, accidents ca
n be common place. Whether this is
in the form of parts which have fal
len off of vehicles, or debris that
 is kicked up from the roadway, it
can all be   used as evidence in a ro
ad traffic   accident compensation cl
aim if the   driver believes this was
 the cause   of the accident.
