Pedestrian Claims
We offer free help and guidance with your compensation claim
Can I claim as a pedestrian?
Yes, pedestrians have every right to claim injury compensation if they are injured on the road and the accident was someone else’s fault. In fact, pedestrians are classed as vulnerable road users – and rightly so, because they are often in close proximity to vehicles, motorbikes and other road users.
All drivers have a duty of care towards other road users, and this includes pedestrians. So if the driver was driving to a poor standard and you were injured as a result, you will have a very good pedestrian injury claim.
The fact is, no-one expects to walk from one place to another, or go out for their daily dog walk or simply go for a stroll to the corner shop and be injured by a motor vehicle. However, there is a very real risk of pedestrians, especially children and the elderly, stepping unexpectedly into the road. There’s also the risk of drivers not concentrating and failing to stop at a zebra crossing or of turning corners too fast and mounting the pavement and clipping or hitting a pedestrian.
Making a claim as a pedestrian may seem daunting
What we will do for you
We understand how distressing an accident can be if you were simply a pedestrian. We know your injuries may have been particularly serious because of how exposed and unprotected a pedestrian is compared to a vehicle driver or passenger.
But whatever the nature and extent of your injuries, if they were caused by someone else you deserve compensating, for the simple reason that road accidents involving pedestrians should not happen.
Thankfully, your compensation will reflect the full nature and extent of your injuries and suffering to ensure you receive a fair amount of compensation. To get started on your claim, you just need to give us a call on 0800 0511 511. When we speak with you, our friendly advisers will take a few details about what happened, the injuries you have suffered and the impact on your life.
They will then help you access free specialist legal advice from experienced injury lawyers, who will give you a clear picture of how your claim can then proceed.
What can I claim for?
Personal Injury Compensation
Loss of earnings
Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
Travel expenses
If you were a pedestrian and were injured in a road accident, you can claim for your actual injuries. The money you receive for the injuries themselves are called ‘general damages’ and your solicitor will aim to recover the maximum amount that properly reflects the extent of your injuries.
You can also claim for any accident-related financial losses.
What if the accident was a ‘hit and run’?
