Crashed without another car in sight? Just because no one else was involved doesn’t mean no one else is responsible. Whether you hit a tree, swerved off the road, or collided with a barrier, you may still have a valid claim, and Marley Solicitors is here to help you prove it.

One vehicle – Multiple possible causes

Not all accidents are your fault, even if no other car touched you. Single-vehicle crashes happen for a range of reasons, and many of them can be traced back to someone else’s negligence:

  • Swerving to avoid another reckless driver
  • Potholes, loose gravel, or poor road maintenance
  • Oil spills or debris left on the road
  • Fallen branches, missing signage, or broken guardrails
  • Malfunctioning vehicle parts, like brakes or steering
  • Pedestrians or cyclists behaving unpredictably
  • Animals on the road and no warning signs

If you lost control trying to avoid a collision, or your crash was caused by a hazard that shouldn’t have been there, you may be entitled to compensation. It’s not always about impact; it’s about why the crash happened.

Common outcomes of single-vehicle crashes

These types of accidents often result in serious injuries and long-term consequences, such as:

  • Whiplash or spinal trauma from sudden deceleration
  • Head injuries from hitting the interior of the car
  • Fractures, lacerations, and bruising from impact
  • PTSD or road anxiety
  • Financial stress from vehicle write-offs, medical bills, and lost earnings

Whether you crashed into a tree, hit a bollard, mounted a kerb, or rolled over on a bend, if something outside your control caused it, we’ll help prove it.

How Marley Solicitors makes it easier

We know insurers love to pin blame on drivers in single-vehicle accidents. That’s where we come in. We gather the evidence, challenge their assumptions, and build a case that shows exactly what caused your crash and who’s really responsible for the road accident.

Our promise:

  • Free case review: No commitment, just clear advice
  • No win, no fee: No upfront costs, no risk
  • Focused on real results: Not lowball settlements

You can claim for:

  • Physical pain and injury
  • Damage to your vehicle
  • Medical costs and aftercare
  • Lost earnings from time off work
  • Travel costs and out-of-pocket expenses
  • Emotional distress and trauma

Just because you were alone doesn’t mean you’re on your own

Single-vehicle accidents are misunderstood and often wrongly dismissed. Don’t let an insurer tell you it’s your fault until we’ve taken a proper look. Whether it’s a road authority, a manufacturer, or a third party who caused the hazard, we’ll help you hold them accountable.
