We would use PSR again without hesitation.
First class service, Barbara was excellent from start to finish in managing my recent purchase.
Recently I was knocked off my bike by a motorist, leaving me requiring shoulder surgery and time off work. My case was handled so professionally by PSR solicitors at the Rhyl office, I can’t recommend them highly enough.
I contacted PSR after hearing about their efficiency and expert knowledge. They charge a relatively small fee and made the process completely stress free.
Cannot recommend them enough and will use them again when needed.
You cannot be held at fault in an accident if you had no control over the vehicle.
No matter what type of vehicle you are travelling in, if your driver is not at fault for the accident then someone else is. It might be an individual or an organisation, and this is who we would hold liable for your claim.
If the driver of the vehicle you were in was at fault for the accident, then they would be pursued for the compensation claim.
Many passengers hesitate to claim against the driver of the vehicle they were in, as it is often a family member or friend. However, if they were at fault for the accident, a claim will usually be proceeding against them anyway.
While the term “duty of care” is often used in professional environments, drivers do accept a responsibility of reasonable safekeeping when they board passengers on a vehicle. They have an obligation to keep both passengers and other road users safe. In different degrees, this applies to taxi drivers, bus drivers, lorry drivers, and private drivers.
If it can be proven that a breach of the duty of care has happened because of the driver’s negligence, leading to an accident and injury to the vehicle’s passengers, they could be eligible for a Passenger Injury Claim.
You may have a valid claim against the driver of the vehicle you were in, or the driver of another vehicle in many circumstances.
You may feel apprehensive towards making a claim against the driver if they are a friend or family member, but remember that any compensation you claim for your injuries will come from their insurance provider.
Finding out who the responsible party for an accident is, and making the claim against them, will be crucial to the success of your case. You deserve compensation for your injuries and the losses and expenses you may have incurred as a result of the accident. Our Passenger Accident Solicitors can help you ensure your passenger injury compensation claim is filed correctly, and that you receive the maximum amount of compensation for your accident. Contact PSR Solicitors today for a free assessment of your claim.
If you are looking to seek compensation for a road traffic accident and you want free advice from a fully qualified solicitor then please contact us now. Using one of our specialist solicitors ensures that you have a better chance of winning your case and receiving the reward and help that you are entitled to all on a No Win No Fee basis. This means that you won't have any legal costs to pay if your case is unsuccessful so No Win No Fee = No Risk To You.
Richard Layfield LLB
Solicitor - Head of Personal Injury
I've been a Solicitor at PSR Solicitors since March 2013 and am head of Personal Injury throughout the firm as well as having full responsibility for managing the Rhyl office.
I completed both my Law LLB and LPC degrees at Cardiff University, graduating in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Thereafter, I completed my 2-year training contract at a firm based in Cardiff, then I was retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales.
As an experienced personal injury and civil litigation Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents. I handle all types off personal injury claims from the minor right through to complex, serious injury claims.

Paul Rossiter LLB Law
Managing Director
I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 and since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales and Ibiza.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Solicitor - Head of Litigation

I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.

When the party responsible for your accident has fled the scene, or does not have a valid insurance policy, making a compensation claim as an injured passenger can become very complicated. Fortunately, our specialists are well-versed in all types of road traffic accidents, and can help you make your claim in these cases too.
The Motor Insurance Bureau (MIB) was founded by motor insurers in the UK to manage compensation payouts for accidents in which compulsory motor insurance should have compensated those who suffered a loss or injury. They offer two separate schemes: one for accidents involving uninsured motorists, and one for untraced drivers.
In order to have the best chances at a successful claim, you should report the accident to the authorities - including the registration number of the car and any details of the driver.
Highways England manages an extensive network of CCTV cameras for circumstances like this, so it is always worth getting in touch as soon as possible to obtain video evidence of the accident.
By documenting as much evidence as possible early on, and with the support of our specialists at PSR Solicitors, you can ensure you obtain the best amount of compensation for your passenger accident. Contact us today if you would like support for an accident involving untraced or uninsured drivers.
Unfortunately, accidents leading to passenger injuries can also happen while on public transportation vehicles, such as buses, trains, and taxis. As a passenger on any of these, you are likely to have a valid claim for compensation if you were to suffer injuries while on board.
Drivers of public transportation vehicles owe a clear duty of care towards their passengers. If you are injured in an accident while on public transport, you are likely able to prove the negligence or carelessness of the driver or the transportation company, and the subsequent breach of the duty of care.
It should be noted that a substantial difference between these cases and accidents involving passengers of private vehicles is that you will often deal with the company managing or owning the public transportation vehicles or network. This can sometimes complicate the claim, however our expert solicitors will be able to support you through the process.
New regulations have been introduced in May of 2021 regarding whiplash and other small injuries as a result of road traffic accidents. The change has been introduced by the government as a measure to reduce the number or exaggerated injury claims for road accidents.
These regulations outline compensation amount for whiplash to the duration of the recovery time from the injury. Compensation amounts for these injuries are now fixed, based on the severity of the injury.

Most injury claims in the UK are subject to a time limit. Once the claim has passed its validity expiration, it may be impossible for claimants to make a case for compensation, so it’s vital to act fast after an accident.
In general, you are required to begin legal proceedings for compensation within 3 years of the original accident, or from the date of knowledge. This is the date in which the full effects of the accident have been discovered, and could come some time after the accident.
Getting advice before this date is not enough. Legal action must be taken within this timeframe in order for the claims to be fully valid.
There are a number of exceptions to this rule, such as accidents involving minors, those lacking mental capacity, and injuries resulting from criminal attacks. If you’re unsure about the validity of your Passenger Accident Claim, contact PSR Solicitors today for a free assessment of your case.
