I'm just looking for some free legal advice as my partner was in a RTA yesterday.
It was a hit and run car accident that was not his fault where the driver drove off, we have all the other parties details so was just looking at pay out and fee rates at the moment really.
He was hit from behind at speed but he managed to get the cars number plate, there are 3 plus witnesses and a bus driver thinks he may of caught the incident on CCTV, we are awaiting for the police to call us back to come do a statement and make a crime report.
He was seriously hurt and I was in a&e all night with him, he badly hurt his back and knee and needed to be taken to hospital in an ambulance.
They say its a AC ligament (ACL) injury to his leg and it may never be the same again, taking months to heal and he has severe whiplash, he is having to have time off work with the injuries and will lose out on a lot of wages.
Can he claim for personal injuries and loss of earnings?
Could he be entitled to more compensation for criminal damages?
Thank you
