Compensation solicitors and driving at work accidents
A large number of people who suffer work-related accidents have jobs in the public transport industry. Fatigue and tiredness contribute to far too many accidents on UK roads, often resulting in serious injury and death.Work-related accidents can also occur when salesmen, bus drivers, lorry drivers and taxi drivers work long hours, and don´t take proper breaks. Accidents on the roads can prove fatal when drivers fall asleep at the wheel. Some drivers may feel pressured to work longer hours, as they may be threatened with dismissal if they refuse and others who are struggling financially may work overtime without taking proper rest periods.
Driving while tired is almost as dangerous as driving whilst under the influence of alcohol or speeding and nearly a fifth of all UK car accidents on motorways are caused by tiredness when drivers have fallen asleep at the wheel.If you have suffered a road accident while driving at work, which was caused by tiredness, you could pursue a compensation claim against your employer if his actions contributed to the accident.

We work on a "no win, no fee" basis and you will receive 100% of the compensation awarded to you.
