Pedestrian accident claims

Have you been hit by a car as a pedestrian or been involved in a hit-and-run? We might be able to help you claim the compensation you deserve. Whatever the circumstances – whether running errands, heading to work or out on your daily walk – if you were involved in a road accident and it wasn't your fault, you could claim pedestrian injury compensation.

The Highway Code exists to help keep our roads safe and to protect vulnerable road users such as pedestrians. But, sadly, accidents still happen with government statistics from 2023 showing that there were 19,263 pedestrian casualties involving a car, bus or other vehicle. Tragically, there were also 405 fatalities.

If you've suffered as a result of being hit by a car or been involved in a hit-and-run, let me help you through the process of making a claim. I'll fetch all the info you need and let you know if I think you're eligible for compensation. Call 0800 047 3015 today or fill in my callback form.

Pedestrian accidents can be caused by many different reasons but, if a driver is at fault, it's likely to have been due to one of the following:

• Driving too fast.
• Failing to pay attention to the road and surroundings.
• Being distracted.
• Driving under the influence.

Whatever happened in your situation, making a pedestrian injury claim can help get you back on track. You can even make a hit-and-run claim if the driver failed to stop after the accident.

If you were a pedestrian hit by car and suffered injuries as a result, I could help you make a claim. You might have injuries such as:

• Cuts, bruises and lacerations.
• Fractures and broken bones.
• Neck and back injuries.
• Internal injuries.
• Head and brain injuries.
• Loss of limbs or amputation.
• Psychological trauma.

If you've lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, you might be able to claim on their behalf.

Worried about claiming or unsure whether you're eligible? Don't be left chasing your tail; give me a call on 0800 047 3015 and I'll go through the details of your case with you to see if I can help you claim pedestrian accident compensation.

Now this is a tricky one, as I can't give you an exact figure, but you can expect the Judicial College Guidelines to serve as the general basis your compensation would be built upon.

John Kushnick, Legal Director at Underdog, explains how your compensation is decided:

"Your final compensation figure includes the following aspects:

• Pain and suffering: this includes the discomfort and emotional distress caused by your injury. This could be things like ongoing physical symptoms or how your injury has changed your day-to-day life, like not being able to enjoy the hobbies or activities you used to. The more serious and long-lasting the effects, the bigger this part of your compensation is likely to be.
• Any financial losses: next, you can claim any out-of-pocket costs related to your injury, like medical treatment, prescriptions and travel for doctor's appointments. If your injury has kept you from working, you can also include lost earnings and potential future earnings if you can't return to work. Costs for long-term care or home adaptations are also covered."
