If you have been injured as a passenger in a road traffic accident, it can be a distressing and perhaps even, a life-altering experience. As a passenger, you place your trust in the driver of the vehicle you are travelling in, expecting them to prioritise your safety.
However, when accidents occur, you can be left facing physical pain, emotional distress, and possibly financial strain through no fault of your own.
At Lanyon Bowdler, we understand the impact such incidents can have on your life and wellbeing. Our compassionate and experienced team of personal injury solicitors is here to guide you through the process of claiming compensation, helping you to access the support and financial security you need to aid your recovery.
Whether the accident was caused by the driver of the vehicle you were in, another motorist, or even hazardous road conditions, we can help you pursue the compensation you are entitled to.
We have extensive experience in handling passenger injury claims across England and Wales and are recognised for our dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients. Our approach is not just about legal expertise; it’s about supporting you every step of the way, ensuring you have a clear understanding of your options, and working tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve.
The thought of making a legal claim may feel overwhelming, but with our friendly and approachable team by your side, you can rest assured that the process will be as straightforward and stress-free as possible. We offer a no-obligation consultation to discuss your situation and provide clear, honest advice on the best course of action for you.
Lanyon Bowdler is committed to putting you first, offering a supportive and professional service that places your recovery at the heart of everything we do.
As a passenger, you are rarely at fault for an accident, meaning you have a strong legal right to claim compensation if you have been injured due to the negligence of another party. Whether the accident was caused by the driver of the vehicle you were in or another road user, you may be entitled to make a claim.
Determining liability can sometimes be complex, especially if multiple vehicles were involved. Identifying the responsible party is the first step in making a claim, and gathering evidence such as witness statements, dash cam footage, and police reports can be crucial in proving fault. Our expert team at Lanyon Bowdler will help you navigate this process, ensuring all necessary evidence is collected and presented effectively.
No matter the circumstances, we are here to provide clear, practical advice and work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your claim.
Our injury solicitors are recognised nationally as experts in their field. With years of experience in helping clients following RTAs and specifically Passenger Injury Claims, with Lanyon Bowdler on your team, your claim has the best chances of success and the maximum possible compensation award.
Our Personal Injury Lawyers are recognised by Legal 500 and ranked in Band 1 by Chambers UK. We are also accredited by the ‘Headway Head Injury Solicitors Directory’ as specialists in head and brain injury claims. Our team was recently recognised as a finalist in the Personal Injury Awards ‘Claimant Team of the Year’.
As well as being accredited by the Law Society for personal injury, Lanyon Bowdler is also an accredited practice by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
Being involved in a road traffic accident as a passenger can lead to a wide range of injuries, from minor whiplash to severe and life-changing conditions such as spinal injuries or head trauma. These injuries can have a profound impact on your daily life, affecting your ability to work, carry out everyday tasks, and enjoy the activities you once did with ease.
While your physical recovery is paramount, the financial and emotional strain that follows an accident can be overwhelming. You may face medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and loss of earnings if you are unable to work, all of which can add to the stress of your situation. Making a passenger injury claim can help to ease these burdens by securing compensation that reflects the full extent of the impact on your life.
At Lanyon Bowdler, our experienced personal injury solicitors are dedicated to guiding you through the claims process with sensitivity and professionalism. We work diligently to ensure you receive the compensation you need to cover your medical treatment, rehabilitation, and any financial losses you have suffered, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your recovery and future wellbeing.
Every passenger injury claim is unique, and the compensation awarded will depend on several factors, including the severity of your injuries and the impact they have had on your life. When assessing your claim, both we and ultimately the courts will take into account:
At Lanyon Bowdler, we use our experience, understanding, and tenacity, to ensure that any compensation awarded is fair and fully reflects your individual circumstances. Our team will work diligently to secure a settlement that supports both your immediate and long-term needs.
We understand that financial concerns can add to the stress of your recovery, which is why we aim to secure compensation as efficiently as possible while ensuring that nothing gets overlooked in achieving the best outcome for you.
Establishing liability is a crucial part of any passenger injury claim. As a passenger, you are generally not responsible for the accident, which makes it easier to prove that another party was at fault. Liability could rest with the driver of the vehicle you were in, another motorist, or even the local authority if poor road conditions contributed to the crash.
Our specialist solicitors have extensive experience in gathering the necessary evidence to support your case, including police reports, medical records, witness statements, and, where needed, expert accident reconstruction analysis. We will take care of the legal complexities so that you can focus on your recovery with confidence in our ability to secure the compensation you deserve.
If the driver of the vehicle you were in did not have valid insurance at the time of the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation. The Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) exists to protect victims of uninsured or hit-and-run drivers, providing a route to claim the compensation you deserve. Our experienced team can assist you in making a claim through the MIB, ensuring that you are supported every step of the way.
Taxi and rideshare companies such as Uber have a legal duty to ensure passenger safety. If you were injured while travelling in a taxi or rideshare vehicle due to the negligence of the driver or another road user, you may have grounds to claim compensation. Such claims can sometimes be complex due to the involvement of multiple insurance providers, but our team has the expertise to navigate these challenges and secure the best outcome for you.
Although UK law requires passengers to wear seatbelts, not wearing one does not necessarily prevent you from making a claim. However, it may affect the amount of compensation you receive, as the court may decide that your injuries were made worse by not wearing a seatbelt. Our solicitors will provide honest advice on how this might impact your claim and work to ensure you receive fair compensation.
Yes, even if the driver of the vehicle you were in was not responsible for the accident, you can still make a claim against the party at fault. Whether another driver, poor road conditions, or even a mechanical failure was to blame, we will thoroughly investigate your case to determine liability and pursue the appropriate claim on your behalf.
As a passenger, you are not responsible for the operation of the vehicle and therefore cannot typically be held liable for an accident. However, in rare cases, such as if you interfered with the driver’s control of the vehicle, you could share some responsibility. Our legal team will assess your situation and provide expert advice on your rights and options.
Phillip Roberts handled my claim in a professional and knowledgable way and I would like to thank him very much for all the work he has done for me.
After my experience using LB 15 years ago and being very impressed I had no hesitation in using them again on a totally different matter and I was not disappointed. Excellent service once again with a successful secondary victim claim.
First Class experience from start to finish with this company.
One hundred percent happy with my claim and the outcome my solicitor was brilliant all through my case.
First Class Service
I was injured in a terrible accident whilst working on a farm, I was left with extensive injuries to my arm which impacted all aspects of my life including my ability to go back to work. Once I had instructed Lanyon Bowdler they instructed medical experts who were able to recommend rehabilitation for me which was arranged, and this meant that I could go back to work and start living independently again. They secured compensation of £45,000 and gave me all the advice and support I needed to accept the offer made.
After a horrible road traffic accident I was left with minimal physical injuries but a significant psychological injury which affected all aspects of my life including my ability to go back to work. Lanyon Bowdler handled my claim whilst also securing crucial rehabilitation for me. They secured £85,000 in compensation for me just after a year after my accident.
After a serious motorbike accident in which my Dad sustained significant head and life changing injuries I instructed Lanyon Bowdler to assist me with making a claim on his behalf. As part of his claim they ensured that he received an appropriate care package to support him in living independently and access to appropriate rehabilitation. They secured for him a settlement of £3.1m together with PPOs for his care and case management for the rest of his life which means that all of his needs can be met.

They understand the clients they represent and work tirelessly to achieve the best they can for them. Through collaborative working we have been able to achieve the best outcomes possible for our clients.
As a case manager I work closely with litigation teams to ensure our clients get the expertise, support and care they need to bring them back to as close to their life pre-injury as possible. This is very often not an easy journey, and balancing the desires of the client to live their best life with collating and presenting the facts of how that life is altered, can be very challenging.

Contacted Lanyon Bowdler six months after an injury at work. They offered me several of their services, including no win no fee which I ended up choosing. The solicitor was extremely helpful, was always keeping me updated when there was news and answered promptly when asked for any updates or when I asked any questions. I was very happy with the final settlement and the advice I received proved to be the best for my case. I felt like the extra bit of care was extended to give me a good idea of the options I had to choose from which really helped to inform any decision.
From my initial approach to the final positive outcome I felt my solicitor was expending all his energy to win the case. I was kept informed throughout and was given straightforward advice on how to proceed. The end result was an acceptable outcome and the pay-out was prompt.
