Who do you know?

We were recently instructed by one of our Solicitor clients to obtain a full witness statement. He was pursuing a personal injury claim for his client arising out of a road traffic accident. The independent witness to the accident, where a child was knocked down by a car in which all the occupants appeared to be arguing with each other and not paying attention to the road, needed to be contacted and an appointment made to give her statement. The problem was that she was Somalian and did not speak English very well. Could we help?

Using our extensive network of industry professionals, we were able to source an intepreter quickly and arranged for the witness to be interviewed. At interview our Franchise Owner asked the questions needed to complete the statement which were translated by the interpreter, with the responses translated back to English. Before long the statement was complete and read back in it's entirety to the witness in Somali who confirmed it to be a true reflection of the accident as she saw it.

Our report and statement were returned to the Solicitor who could now pursue the matter for his client. We await the outcome, but London House has again done its job.

Focus on......Road Traffic Accident Reports

A service that some of you may not know we provide is that of RTA reports. We are receiving an increasing number of requests for this service and all of our managers are experienced at preparing details of the scene of an accident which can be produced in Court if necessary. We are qualified to prepare plans and reports and take a series of detailed photographs to be produced with those plans as evidence. This can be difficult and complex work and in some cases the smallest detail can make all the difference to the outcome of an insurance claim or court case. We also take detailed statements from witnesses and all parties involved.

Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre

We have all been there.....a multi lane roundabout, rush hour traffic, and drivers blindly swapping lanes and dodging traffic as if on the dodgems at the fair. We were recently instructed to provide a report on such a scenario to assist the Court in making a judgement for the insurance companies as to who was liable. This accident had occurred at the roundabout that marked the junction with the A11 and the A406 (the start of the North Circular) and was due to drivers being in the wrong lane to make their turning correctly.

As you can imagine, this is a major junction and we had to have our wits about us as we prepared diagrams, took measurements, photographs of all entrances and exits as well as the accident site to provide the information needed by our instructing client. We even had to measure the lanes on the roundabout, no easy task. Whilst the bulk of the work was completed during the day we had to return to the location during the evening to measure the lanes, so that we could stop the traffic while causing as little disruption as possible.
