A young boy aged 12 in is struck by a car whose driver then drove off in a 'hit and run' incident. Sadly, shocking but all too common, behaviour.

The driver stopped after hitting the boy but then took off.

Dominic was knocked over by the driver of a small van. The driver passed him but then did a u-turn and managed to collide with Dominic who was halfway across the road. We were able to help Dominic recover compensation and also recover physically from the awful experience.

We were pleased to be able to help Fardowsa when her daughter was struck by a car just outside the school gates. Drivers need to restrict their speed and be extra vigilant and on the lookout for children crossing.

Tks to Stevie for this review. We're glad he found the process easy and that we could ensure he received the right medical support to enable him to return to full fitness. He was also happy with the settlement he received from the 3rd party insurer.

Interesting piece in the The Scotsman today. Well worth a read.
The personal transportation market is going to grow very rapidly over the next few years. It's important that the correct legislation is in place to ensure it is as safe as possible and that these vulnerable road users are protected in Civil law.

Electric scooters, segways, hover boards, u-wheels, go-peds and powered unicycles. You would be forgiven for thinking you had just woken up in some future world, but these machines are very much here today.
