Nigeria: Personal Injury

Road transportation remains the predominant means of movement for individuals and goods in Nigeria, and one feature that has remained constant in Nigeria's transportation landscape is the steady increase in the number of motor vehicles using public roads. In densely populated commercial centres such as Lagos, thousands of private motorists, commercial transport operators, heavy-duty vehicles, motorcycles, tricycles and pedestrians interact daily within an increasingly congested road network. The inevitable consequence is the frequent occurrence of road traffic accidents resulting in death, bodily injury and substantial property damage.

Air travel is one of the greatest inventions of the modern era, rightly occupying a vital part of human civilization with a cumulative interlace and exchange of rights and responsibilities.
