Thu 28th Apr 2011

Just over a year since the unprecedented impact of the volcano eruption in Iceland on air travel, consumers, insurers and airlines alike are still dealing with the fallout.

Tue 26th Apr 2011

In the case of Gareth Owen Jones who has suffered severe injuries when the vehicle he was driving was hit by a lorry which had swerved to avoid hitting a suicidal man (V) who had run onto the dual carriageway who was in fact killed.

If you are renting a car in the USA, insure yourself before you go

Tue 26th Apr 2011

Therefore, if someone is hit by a driver with a low level of insurance they may have no recourse for any money from the other party.
