Group launch road traffic accident claim
Five survivors of a major road traffic accident have lodged
claims for personal injury compensation in Wales, it has been
reported.
In the summer of 2006, the five claimants were involved in a
tragic pileup on the M4 motorway near Pencoed, Wales, which left
one woman dead and many others injured.
The accident occurred as six people were travelling back from a
trip to the Skanda Vale Hindu temple in a seven-seat Mitsubishi
Pajero vehicle, which suffered a tire blow-out.
According to eyewitness accounts, the small car flipped "at
least ten times" and resulted in one passenger, Neha Bhatt, passing
away from her injuries.
The five survivors have now launched damages claims against the
automotive company Yoyo Tire and Rubber, which they feel was to
blame for the disaster, reports Wales Online.
The travelers are seeking compensation from Yoyo Tire and Rubber
at the High Court, claiming its negligence was the cause of the
accident as there was a "manufacturing defect" in the tire that led
to the blowout.
