We offer expert help & advice for those who need to make a motorbike injury compensation claim!
Accidents at traffic lights can occur in a number of different ways: it may be that a driver ignores the signal at the lights, or fails to brake in time and collides with the vehicle in front.
As traffic lights are designed to regulate traffic flow, it is important that all road users approach them with caution and pay attention to the signals provided, or they risk being responsible for an accident. If you were injured as a result of an accident at a set of traffic lights, and the incident was caused through no fault of your own, you may be eligible to make a compensation claim.
There are those who take it really steady at traffic lights, and then there are the “amber gamblers” who may tear through as the lights flick between red and green… And then there’s the “chancers” who take “amber gambling” to a whole new level by jumping red lights.
