Stories from Road Traffic Victims Families
Honouring loved ones. Sharing grief. Raising awareness.
Stories of Loss, Love, and Strength
Every life lost on our roads is more than a statistic, it’s a son, a daughter, a partner, a friend.
Here, families members share their deeply personal stories of loss following a road traffic collision. These accounts not only honour the memory of their loved ones, but also offer comfort to others walking a similar path, and help raise public awareness of the real and lasting impact of road tragedies. We are deeply grateful to those who have chosen to share their experience and stand in solidarity with others affected.
Would You Like to Share Your Story or Speak to Someone?
If you’ve lost a loved one in a road traffic collision, we understand how overwhelming and isolating the journey through grief can be. Sharing your story can be a powerful way to honour your loved one’s memory, raise awareness about the devastating impact of road collisions, and help others who are going through similar pain feel less alone.
At IRVA, we offer a safe and respectful platform for families and individuals who wish to speak about their experiences. Whether you want to share a tribute or simply express how your life has changed, your voice matters, and it can make a real difference.
If you're not ready to share publicly but need support, we’re here to listen and help. Our team, many of whom have experienced personal loss themselves, will walk with you through this difficult time with empathy and understanding.
Support and Guidance for Victims & Families
Our victim guide provides essential information for anyone affected by road traffic collisions, especially those grieving the loss of a loved one or coping with serious injury. Developed by victims in collaboration with road safety partners, it aims to fill a long-standing gap in support and help families understand and engage with the legal processes that follow such a tragedy. Please note this is a draft version, and we strongly recommend seeking independent legal advice if you have been impacted.
As a national organisation, IRVA offers free information, emotional support, and practical assistance to victims and their families. If you have been affected, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help you through every step of this difficult journey.
