Is It Possible To Claim Compensation For An Accident On A Roundabout?

You may be entitled to claim compensation for a roundabout accident if another road user breaches their duty of care and causes you injury. That’s because, every driver, cyclist, passenger, motorcyclist, and pedestrian must follow the rules of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and the Highway Code. When someone ignores these rules, and you suffer an injury such as whiplash, broken bones or a head injury, you could be eligible to claim.

To succeed in a roundabout accident claim, you must show three things:

• You were owed a duty of care by the other party
• The other party breached that duty (for example, by failing to give way or driving carelessly) and caused an accident
• You suffered injury or loss because of that breach

If you contact us, one of our solicitors will assess your eligibility for compensation. They review the details of your accident and explain your options as part of a free initial consultation. You’ll receive legal advice tailored to your situation, helping you understand every step. If your claim proceeds, your solicitor will guide you through collecting evidence, negotiating with insurers and representing your interests. Their main aim will be to try and maximise your chance of a positive outcome.

Common Causes and Types of Roundabout Accidents

Typical roundabout accidents often occur due to driver negligence or a lack of attention to traffic conditions. Understanding these accident scenarios helps you determine when a claim may be valid and how solicitors can guide you through the process.

Common causes of roundabout accidents include:

• Entering without giving way: Some drivers fail to give way to vehicles already on the roundabout, causing high-impact side or front-end collisions.
• Rear-end collisions: These occur when a vehicle hits another from behind on entering or navigating the roundabout, usually because of sudden braking or poor observation.
• Improper lane changes: Sideswipes and crashes happen when drivers switch lanes without checking their blind spot or indicating, especially on multi-lane roundabouts.
• Heavy vehicles and buses: Larger vehicles sometimes cut across lanes or turn too widely, increasing the risk of accidents with smaller cars.
• Pedestrian and cyclist incidents: Vulnerable road users get injured when drivers ignore designated crossings or fail to spot cyclists sharing the carriageway.

Whatever type of roundabout accident you’ve been involved in, we’re happy to review your case for free. If suitable, we could connect you with one of our No Win No Fee solicitors.

Compensation for Roundabout Accident Claims

Compensation for roundabout accident claims covers both immediate and long-term losses you’ve suffered because of someone else’s negligence. If you’re thinking about making a claim, our solicitors will review the circumstances of your accident and advise you on what you could recover.

Factors Affecting the Amount You Can Claim

The amount you can claim for a roundabout accident depends on key factors. Our solicitors will help you understand how these elements impact your claim:

• Severity of your injuries – The more serious the injury, such as whiplash or fractures, the higher the potential compensation.
• Loss of earnings – Time taken off work and the lasting impact on your earning ability are considered.
• Medical and rehabilitation costs – You can include any treatment fees, medication, or specialist therapy.
• Travel expenses – Journeys for medical care or related appointments may be included.
• Vehicle or property damage – Repair or replacement costs for your car or belongings are factored in.
• Care or support needs – If you need help with daily tasks during recovery, those costs are considered.
• Impact on quality of life – Compensation may reflect pain, suffering, and any loss of enjoyment in life.

Time Limits for Making a Claim

The time limit for roundabout accident claims is typically three years from the date of the accident, as outlined in the Limitation Act 1980. This applies to claims made for yourself or on behalf of others and begins from the accident date or when you first realise your injuries were caused by negligence.

Certain circumstances can extend or pause this limit:

• Children: The three-year limit for injured children starts when they turn 18, allowing a parent or adult to initiate the claim at any time before that.
• Mental Capacity: If you lose mental capacity, the limitation period only begins when capacity is regained.

Missing these deadlines may forfeit your right to compensation. Our solicitors will monitor your timeframe and ensure your claim meets all legal deadlines.
