    Local bus company ordered to pay over £17,000 including damages and costs following road traffic accident
    A road-traffic collision with a bus on a roundabout left our claimant with an injury and a difficult case to prove. In these types of incidents, it is notoriously difficult to prove that the accident was the fault of one single party. Capital Lawyers, with the assistance of their preferred trial barrister, Stephen Hines of CityGate Chambers, convinced the judge that the bus driver was 100% responsible for the accident. The result for our claimant? We successfully secured compensation of over £9,000.
