Making a road traffic accident claim can be daunting, but if you have suffered a personal injury caused by another person's negligence or reckless driving, then you are entitled to claim 100% compensation for damages to recompense pain and suffering, loss of earnings and costs of future care and rehabilitation.
Road traffic accidents caused by sudden illness
Occasionally, an accident report reaches the media where a driver has become ill at the wheel and caused a car crash. These accidents can occur due to drivers suffering illness such as stroke, seizure or heart attack and can be devastating in their consequences.
A driver who causes a road traffic accident solely because of illness is extremely unlikely to be prosecuted for reckless driving, but their insurer could be liable for personal injury compensation awarded through a civil action.
However, drivers should be reminded that falling asleep at the wheel will be viewed by the judicial system as a motoring offence and will be deemed worthy of severe penalty, including possible incarceration.
In December 2009, 34 schoolboys from Liverpool narrowly avoided disaster when the driver of the coach they were travelling in suffered a heart attack and lost control of the vehicle. No-one was injured in the road traffic accident, but the bus driver died as a result of his illness.
In May 2010, an 89-year-old man, who had a previously diagnosed heart condition, caused the death of a mother and her infant child when he died at the wheel of his Rover car from a heart attack. The case caused the coroner to question the DVLA's stance on old-age and illness in drivers and the possibility of applicable exclusions.
