A website has been launched allowing people to see where the possible hotspots for accident compensation claims are.
Crashmap.co.uk provides details of over one million car accident injury locations in the country and can be searched for free.
It provides data from between 2005 and 2010 and aims to help people in a range of different situations. For example, individuals considering moving house might want to look for a location with low accident rates, while families with young children might want to check out a safe route to school.
In addition, the map is intended to help driving instructors to educate their pupils on the typical range of risks involved in navigating the roads.
There is also a paid report available offering further information on an accident, such as the number of vehicles involved, the weather conditions and the time of day at which it occurred.
People looking to use the website can type in their post code and see at a glance the areas nearby hat have the most reported collisions. This will give people an idea of the possible accident compensation claims made from their surrounding neighbourhood.
