Road Traffic Accident Bolton Where the Driver Suffered a Heart Attack


Ideally it is believed that if you were involved in a non-fault road traffic accident you may be able to financial compensation even if you are unable to recover from your injuries. To be able to receive full or partial compensation you will have to prove that the other driver was in some way negligent. Interestingly, it is possible that you may be involved in a non-fault road traffic accident Bolton and not be able to claim compensation. In such causes the driver responsible for the accident may have been undermined by some severe medical emergency such as a heart attack. The following text contains more details.

Even though, accidents where the driver was suffering from a heart attack are very rare, their consequences may be devastating. It is possible that the driver loses control of his/her body as a result of which they may further accelerate their car into the direction of another road user. This effect is referred to as “automatism” or involuntary action and it is enough to rid the driver behind the wheel who suffered the heart attack from liability. Making a claim for such a road traffic accident Bolton is entirely up to the discretion of the insurance company involved as it is possible that they may choose to award compensation for the loss of the non-fault accident victim on sympathetic grounds.
