A woman who suffered personal injury when her car smashed through the crash barriers of a bridge in Cambridgeshire has said that she will consider making a claim for car crash injury compensation.
The dog trainer says that she was travelling at only 10mph when her car slid on the road, causing it to break through the barrier. She then plunged several feet into a river before making a lucky escape.
The would-be car crash injury compensation claimant told the Wisbech Standard, "There should be proper crash barriers along bridges, not the barriers they currently have.
"The accident was not my fault. I was travelling at about 10mph and the car just slid as if I was driving on ice."
"I got told by a police officer at the scene that the barrier was designed only to stop pedestrians falling in the river. How can they have such a barrier along a 60mph road? No wonder the car went through."
She also intimated that if insurance fail to provide for the injury caused her and her vehicle, she will be contacting a personal injury solicitor in order to claim car crash injury compensation.
"We are waiting to hear from our insurance assessors," she said. "But if they refuse to pay out we will be seeking compensation from the council. I have lost my car because the road was muddy and the barrier was not strong enough."
