Why choose us to deal with your RTA claim
Your insurance company is likely to direct you to their appointed solicitor. Why, because those solicitors will typically “buy” your claim from the insurers for around £900 and your insurance company will do all they can to direct you and guarantee their payment.
You do not have to use the insurance company’s solicitor and have the right to instruct your own solicitor, whatever your insurers may suggest.
You must decide if you want to use a firm, usually based hundreds of miles away who has bought your claim or whether you would prefer to use locally based specialist personal injury lawyers who only have your interests at heart.
If you have already started your claim with your insurance company solicitors, you can move the claim to a solicitor of your choice. If you would like more information on moving your claim or if you would just like a second opinion please contact us.

Mackrell & Thomas Solicitors in Liverpool are specialised road traffic accident lawyers in Liverpool who are experienced with obtaining compensation for victims of accidents.
If you are a passenger
You may have been a passenger in a vehicle, which was involved in a road traffic accident. As a passenger you are the innocent party and you are automatically entitled to make a claim for compensation. Even if a friend or family member was to blame, there is no barrier to you making a claim as the insurance policy is already being claimed.
If you were a car passenger, bus passenger or motorbike pillion passenger then Mackrell & Thomas Solicitors can help you claim compensation. You can claim for your injuries, damaged helmet and clothing and any other expenses caused by the accident.
If you are a motorcyclist
You may have been on a motorbike which has been in an accident caused by another vehicle. Motorbike riders are vulnerable and in many cases their injuries can be very serious.
Mackrell & Thomas Solicitors are very experienced when it comes to handling serious motorbike claims and we are aware that these claims have different considerations to other road traffic accidents.
We are equipped to deal with claims arising from catastrophic injuries that are often caused in motorbike accidents and this may often involve organising a team of doctors, nursing care/rehabilitation experts and any other professionals who can assist in helping an injured motorcyclist back to health.
Such accidents may have been caused by other motorists simply not seeing the motorbike but accidents can also be caused by defective road surfaces. In such cases there is a potential claim against the local authority for failing to keep the highway safe for public use.
You can claim compensation for your injuries, damaged bike, damaged gear and any other expenses such as lost earnings.
If you are a cyclist
You may be a cyclist who has been hit or knocked from your bicycle and injured. In such cases you may have a claim against the driver who caused the accident. Bicycle accidents can also be caused by defective road surfaces. In such cases there is a potential claim against the local authority for failing to keep the highway safe for public use.
You can claim for your injuries, damage to your bicycle, damaged clothing and any other expenses caused by the accident.
If you are a pedestrian
You may have been a pedestrian who has been hit by a vehicle. Pedestrians are very vulnerable and over 23,000 casualties each year on Britain’s roads involve pedestrians.
Drivers owe a high duty of care to pedestrians and if a driver collides with a pedestrian then the driver may well have some difficulty escaping some degree of blame for the accident, with the result that the pedestrian is entitled to compensation.
You can claim for your injuries, damaged clothing and any other expenses caused by the accident.
Whiplash Injuries
Whiplash injuries are commonly thought of as being trivial but anyone who has actually experienced the pain of suffering such an injury in a road traffic accident will know that their injuries were anything but trivial.
Many insurance companies are now denying accident victims’ whiplash compensation claims by claiming that the accident was not serious enough to have caused an injury such as a spinal injury.
Mackrell & Thomas Solicitors are experienced compensation lawyers and have the expertise to successfully fight any suggestions from an insurance company that you were not injured merely because modern vehicles are sometimes strong enough to avoid damage in an accident.
Fatalities resulting from an RTA
If a member of your family has had a fatal accident as a result of a road traffic accident then this may result in the loss not only of a loved on but the main breadwinner.
After such an accident a family needs the input of highly trained Lawyers who have experience of fatal accident claims.
Following a fatal accident, there may be a potential claim for a bereavement award, funeral expenses and compensation if the family’s income has been affected following the accident (known as a dependency claim).
Mackrell & Thomas Solicitors in Liverpool are experienced road traffic accident lawyers in Liverpool who can assist you with such a claim following a fatal accident.
