Road traffic accident compensation and the Prince Michael Awards

All sensible people who have been involved in the road traffic accident compensation process, whether they are claimants, culpable drivers, insurance companies or no win, no fee lawyers, have a desire to see improved road safety in Britain.

As such, as a matter of encouragement, it is essential that those who make significant contributions to the improvement of road safety receive the recognition their efforts in preventing car crashes and resultant injuries, ranging from bumps and bruises to whiplash and more serious injuries, deserve.

One such official recognition is the Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards. Inaugurated in 1987, the awards were originally set up to recognise achievements in Britain, but, due to their success and stature, in 2010 expanded to recognise outstanding achievements in road safety right across the globe.

One of the things which makes the awards special is their inclusiveness – they seek to canvass the views of all concerned parties, whether car drivers, motorcycle riders, cyclists, pedestrians, horse riders or road traffic accident compensation claimants.

And it is this inclusiveness which ensures that the awards are delivered to a broad section of industries and organisations. For example, in 2010 awards went to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, The Institute of Advanced Motorists and the automotive industry.

Psychologists agree that the kind of positive affirmation offered by an award can play an important role in further promoting safety. It was this reasoning that played a large part in 2010's decision to give an award to the vehicle manufacturing industry.

Praising the "huge investment" made by the automotive industry in safety products, Prince Michael of Kent said, "Many of us take these innovations for granted, so this year I want to recognise the outstanding achievement of this industry."
