Council data may be useful in a car accident claim

If you are making a car accident claim, or thinking of doing so, you may find the information that your local council's website provides to be useful.

Most council websites have a "road and traffic" section - the name may be slightly different from county to county - which can provide you with data about the number of car crashes in a given area. Cheshire County Council, for example, provides road traffic accident data broken down into six districts, and into the different types of vehicle involved in collisions, the severity of these accidents, and the involvement of pedestrians.

Gloucestershire County Council breaks down the data differently, as does West Sussex; there seems to be a certain amount of freedom in how each council displays its car accident data. However, local governments collect the car crash data to demonstrate how they are meeting central targets on casualty reduction, so the data being collected overall should correspond across the country.

Depending on the circumstances of any car accident you may have been involved in, you or your personal injury solicitor may be interested in these statistics.
