What Is a Lorry Driver Accident Claim?
A lorry driver accident claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you’ve been injured while driving or working with a lorry due to someone else’s negligence. Driving HGVs and lorries is one of the most high-risk jobs in the UK. Long hours, heavy loads, and demanding schedules make accidents more likely – and when they happen, the consequences are often severe.
If you’ve suffered an injury in the last three years as a lorry driver and it wasn’t your fault, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and get the support you need to recover physically and financially.
Who Can Claim?
You may be entitled to make a lorry driver accident claim if you were injured as a result of:
• A road traffic collision caused by another driver
• Poorly maintained lorry or defective equipment provided by your employer
• Dangerous loading or unloading practices
• Inadequate training or failure to follow safety procedures
• Fatigue caused by excessive working hours or breaches of driver hours regulations
Both employed and self-employed lorry drivers are protected by UK workplace and road safety laws.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
