In 2023, 1.35 billion vehicle miles were travelled on roads in Liverpool. Local authority data for a 0.81-mile section of the major A59 road shows an average daily flow of 15,645 vehicles, including 12,758 cars, 293 heavy goods vehicles, and 148 bicycles.
The heavy traffic on roads such as the A59, Queens Drive, Stanley Road or the Dunnings Bridge Road is a major contributor to road accidents. In 2020, there were 1,150 crashes in Liverpool, leading to 1,404 casualties, of which four were fatal and 196 severe.
If you were injured in a road traffic accident in Liverpool and another party was at fault, the specialist solicitors we work with can help you claim compensation.
It’s also important to know that you can make a claim even if you are partially to blame, for example, for not wearing a seatbelt or crossing the street without looking for incoming traffic.
In this case, your compensation will simply be reduced by a percentage to account for your contributory negligence.

Frequently Asked Questions
To help potential claimants in Liverpool, we have answered the most common questions we receive about the claims process below. For further information or a free assessment of your case, call us on 0800 470 0474 today or request a call back.
If you suffered an injury or illness and you believe it was due to someone else’s fault, a personal injury law firm can help determine if you are entitled to compensation. Generally, you can pursue a claim if the following can be proven:
- Another person or company owed you a legal duty of care.
- They breached this duty through negligence or wrongdoing.
- You suffered harm as a direct result of that breach of duty.
- You are within the legal time limit to claim compensation (which is usually 3 years).
You don’t need to prove a duty of care yourself. Our team of solicitors in Liverpool can assess liability for all types of accidents and negligence and determine if you have a valid claim.
If you can proceed, they will help you collate supporting evidence and will guide you through all the steps of the claims process.
Yes, there is a time limit to start a personal injury claim, and it is known as the limitation period. Under the Limitation Act 1980, this is typically 3 years, starting from the time of your accident. However, some exceptions apply:
- For injuries or illnesses that develop over time, the three years begin to run from when they are diagnosed and linked to negligence.
- For claims involving children (under 18), the three-year time limit doesn’t start until their 18th birthday, which means a claim can be made until they turn 21.
- The time limit is suspended for individuals who lack the mental capacity to handle a claim.
If one of your loved ones suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, our team of experienced personal injury solicitors in Liverpool could help you make a claim on their behalf.
You may be able to represent them as a litigation friend if they are:
- A child under 18 or;
- An adult who is a protected party. This means they suffered a brain injury, stroke or PTSD or have a condition such as Down syndrome and lack the mental capacity to claim themselves.
As a litigation friend, you’ll be responsible for making decisions in the best interests of your loved one, working with solicitors, and helping to gather evidence. Any compensation awarded will usually require approval from a judge to ensure it meets your loved one’s needs.
The amount of compensation you could receive for the harm you suffered will be calculated based on two types of damages:
- General damages cover the personal impact of your injury or illness. They could include elements such as physical pain, emotional distress, reduced quality of life, disfigurement, disability and loss of amenities.
- Special damages cover financial losses and expenses such as medical bills, loss of earnings during recovery, loss of earning capacity and the cost of assistance with daily tasks.
While special damages are based on documents such as receipts and invoices, general damages depend on the types and severity of your injury and the Judicial College guidelines.
Our personal injury compensation calculator can offer you a rough idea of how much your claim could be worth within just a few minutes.
Employers have a legal duty of care towards all employees, even those who are on a zero-hours contract. If they breach this duty and their negligence results in a personal injury, the employee is entitled to claim compensation for their pain and suffering.
Your employer simply cannot sack you or treat you unfairly solely for bringing a legitimate claim against them. You are protected by the Employment Rights Act 1996, and you can make a further claim at an employment tribunal if you are unfairly dismissed.
To start a claim, you will need compelling evidence to prove liability and how the injuries you suffered have affected you. This could include:
- Photographs, videos or CCTV footage of the accident scene;
- Pictures of your injuries and recovery process;
- Police or accident reports;
- Medical records and reports from healthcare specialists;
- Witness information and statements;
- Your testimony about how the accident happened and how it has affected you;
- Evidence of financial losses, such as receipts and invoices.
Our panel of expert personal injury solicitors in Liverpool will help you gather all the evidence you need and guide you through every step of the claims process.
It is highly unlikely that you would need to go to court to settle your claim, as more than 96% of all cases are resolved through negotiations. There are a few reasons why your claim might proceed to trial:
- The other party denies liability for the harm you suffered;
- You cannot agree on a fair compensation award;
- The defendant or their insurer is unresponsive;
- You want to apply for interim payments;
- Your case involves complex legal issues.
If you’ve had an accident that wasn’t your fault, our no win no fee solicitors in Liverpool will gladly help you pursue a claim. You will not have to pay them any fees upfront, and there will be no financial risk to you.
Claiming on a no win no fee basis means you only pay your solicitor if they secure compensation from the defendant. In this case, they are entitled to a success fee that will be deducted from your settlement (capped at 25% of it). If you lose, you do not pay them anything.
