Pedestrians

If you have been involved in a motor accident, you may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation. Call now on 0800 3213 3239 for a no obligation chat with one of our solicitors.

Road traffic accident compensation claims usually involve a claim for compensation for injury (both physical and psychological) together with a claim for the repairs to the vehicle, recovery of the insurance excess or a claim for the vehicle being written off. In addition loss of earnings for the time the injured person spends off work and other expenses such as travel costs, hire car charges and medical bills can also be recovered.

In the case of more serious injures there can be compensation claims for future losses also if they cannot return to their job due to the nature of the injury they have suffered or they can only work reduced hours.

The effects of such accidents can be far reaching for the injured person and their family.

An alarming number of people are injured or die in accidents on the road each year. Sometimes the pedestrian is at fault for not ensuring it is safe to cross and following simple measures such as not crossing between two parked vehicles, however other accidents are caused by the speed or recklessness of other road users.

Due to the lack of protection afforded to pedestrians they are often seriously injured in these accidents and it will be compensation for their injuries which most victims will require although with serious injuries there can be other aspects such as care and assistance.

Unfortunately a large percentage of pedestrian accidents involve children who take more risks than adults and may not be as streetwise.
