Compensation Lawyer And Organised Highway Crime

Whilst being help at pistol point whilst you drive in your carriage is a thing of the past, we are still subject to the crime of the modern day Dick Turpins.

Innocent drivers who are not breaking any driving laws are the victims of a crime that is virulent around the country. These drivers are being ambushed.

This is what can happen:

You are following a vehicle up towards a junction, a roundabout or a slip road, the vehicle is old. Suddenly, the car in front stops suddenly, but it had no working brake lights and so you run into the back of it.

There might be more than one car involved. The second car might act as a forcing the car in front to sharply brake.

If you discover that you have been a target of an illegal crash you can use a compensation lawyer to claim back your expenses.

For the most part, these set-ups occur at busy roundabouts and slip roads. The people behind the crash know just what to say to make it sound like the innocent driver was in the wrong. gangs are often behind these modern highwaymen and they are able to repair cars and have many vehicles working at once. They charge the victims more money than they should over repair work and hire cars for the ‘injured’ party. They then make a bogus claim on the blameless motorist’s insurers, often inflating it for maximum pay-out and claiming for compensation for so-called injuries to the driver and passengers. Often the vehicle which they use is an old banger, which will probably contain the maximum number of passengers, all claiming to have been injured in some way and seeking compensation for this and probably loss of earning too. So the innocent are sometimes forced to find thousands of pounds to pay these criminals even though they have done nothing wrong.

insurers predict that there are at least 10,000 of these false claims and accidents made each year, and have put their guard up against them. With this in mind the Association of British Insurers have created an Insurance Fraud Bureau. The Bureau and the police work in conjunction to discover the gangs behind these road crimes and prosecute them.

These gangs are putting innocent drivers and their passengers at risk. This crime needs to be stopped by everyone working together to uncover the criminals.
