Have You Been Involved in an Accident That Wasn't Your Fault?

Accident – an unfortunate incident that can cause an injury or damage. When described this way, an accident just sounds like something we have to deal with; something unavoidable, that you’ll just have to get over.

But, if you’ve found yourself involved in one, you’ll know that an accident can be devastating – especially when it was caused by someone else.

The injustice of an accident that wasn’t your fault

Dealing with the fact someone else caused your accident – even if it wasn’t intentional – can be extremely challenging. As well as having to think about your injury and its implications, you also have to come to terms with the fact your accident was down to someone else’s negligence.

This can lead to a sense of frustration, which can then grow into anger at the injustice you have faced.

Some accidents can be made better with an apology. But some are more serious. If you’ve been hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you deserve more than just an apology. You are entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering you’ve been through.

Types of accident

There are a huge number of ways you could find yourself involved in an accident. From a road traffic accident to a much more uncommon medical accident, from a fall in a supermarket to an accident at work.

You could find yourself injured at any point in the day and in any location. When an accident is someone else’s fault, it’s often a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You are of course more likely to be involved in certain accidents at certain points, though.

For example, road traffic accidents are more likely to happen when there are more cars on the road, making it more likely you’ll be involved in one during rush hour, when people are trying to get to and from work as quickly as possible.

The effect of an accident

Being involved in an accident can have a huge impact on your health – both physical and mental.
