Pedestrian Accident Solicitors
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
Unfortunately, Pedestrian Accidents are a common type of road traffic accident that can inevitably lead all types of injury to this group of vulnerable road users. If you, a friend or relative have been injured while crossing a road or simply walking on the pavement, our dedicated Pedestrian Accident Solicitors are ready to help. We have years of experience in handling these kinds of injury claim.
For a successful claim to be made, it must be proven that the pedestrian’s injuries were someone else’s fault. We’ll help you with every step of the claim. From building your case with the right evidence to claiming compensation for pain and suffering, recovering any loss of earnings, travel expenses, medical expenses, and rehabilitation treatment expenses.
Making a claim for injury compensation is not something you have to do on your own, you need specialist advice. Trust us to help you.
Given the nature of such incidents, it is easy to understand how injuries to a person can be so serious. Any impact from a car or motorbike on a vulnerable pedestrian is likely to lead to severe injuries. Alongside the inevitable pain and suffering, there is also a strong possibility that surgery is required and unfortunately the potential for weeks, if not months, of recovery and rehabilitation.
Depending on the circumstances, and who has been injured, there may be additional financial pressures alongside the limitations that can be placed on your lifestyle. The loss of income at such an emotionally and physically stressful time can be overwhelming.

Using one of our specialist solicitors ensures that you have a better chance of winning your claim and receiving all the compensation and help that you are entitled to all on a No Win No Fee basis. This means that you won't have any legal costs to pay if your claim is unsuccessful so No Win No Fee = No Risk to You.
Pedestrian accident claims are often very complicated and involve serious injury or death. Even at minor speeds if a car or motorbike collides with a pedestrian, they have little protection from the impact.
They often suffer from the initial collision but can then be thrown into the air or knocked to the ground suffering further injuries. If a head injury is involved, then serious brain damage or death can occur. This can lead to great strain being place on the injured victim’s family either in terms of loss of financial security or having to provide care.
Data taken from the annual Road Casualty Statistics show that, kilometre per kilometre, cyclists cause as many personal injury accidents as motorcars. The risk of fatal accidents is also similar. Although many collisions occur when pedestrians step onto the road without having noticed an approaching cyclist, just as many are caused by cyclists who ride on pavements and collide with pedestrians.
For your compensation claim to be successful it is up to you and your legal representation to prove that your accident or injury resulted from the fault or negligence of another person. That’s why you need to instruct dedicated personal injury solicitors who have the experience and technical knowledge to help.
The following is a useful checklist in order to help us submit a successful claim on your behalf:
Our helpful Pedestrian accident claim calculator can help you understand what your claim might be worth
Your questions answered
In the majority of cases where a pedestrian is involved in a collision with a vehicle including a car, motorbike or lorry, the driver is usually at fault by:
Even people riding pushbikes are responsible for a large number of accidents where pedestrians become the innocent and injured party.
Our experienced solicitors can help you with a wide range of pedestrian accident claims such as claims involving:
If you have been injured in the past three years and it was someone else’s fault then you are able to make a compensation claim to recognise the pain, inconvenience and financial damage caused.
Yes, you can. Pedestrian accidents often cause serious and debilitating injuries so where the person involved is not able or is too distressed to talk about what has happened, loved ones can make a personal injury claim on their behalf. Wherever possible, we ask to speak to the person who has been injured so that we can obtain their consent to discuss the claim with someone else, but we understand there are times when this is not possible and will continue to offer our legal advice and support.
Our specially trained solicitors are also able to help anyone who has lost a loved one through a fatal accident and will deal sensitively with anyone facing such a heart-breaking and tragic situation.
Claiming compensation for any injury can feel daunting and overwhelming but we will manage and coordinate the whole process on your behalf.
Following an initial, no-obligation conversation, we will advise you on how likely you are to have a successful claim and how much you can expect to receive.
We will need to know exactly what happened, who else was involved and whether you have any witnesses to the accident. We will also ask about the full extent of your injuries and how they affect your life. We understand that this may be the most difficult part of the process for you, but we will take everything at your pace so that you don’t ever feel under pressure or rushed. We can visit you at home or in the hospital if you are unable to travel to one of our offices or can even, in some cases, take your initial instruction over the phone.
The responsibility lies with you, as the victim, to clearly demonstrate that the driver was at fault and directly caused the accident in which you were injured. You cannot do this alone and you cannot do this without specialist help. Many law firms now use teams of unqualified fee earners who do not have the level of expertise and knowledge necessary to deal with personal injury claims. Clients don’t know who is handling their claim and compensation awards are put at risk.
You deserve a dedicated firm of personal injury solicitors fighting your corner, to give you the best chance of claiming the full amount of compensation and at PSR Solicitors we have an exceptional reputation for recovering 100% of the damages for our clients. We have thorough knowledge of how insurance companies operate so that we can successfully navigate the claims process including the potential pitfalls and obstacles.

Thereafter, I completed my 2-year training contract at a firm based in Cardiff, then I was retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales.
As an experienced personal injury and civil litigation Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents.

Paul Rossiter LLB Law
Managing Director
I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 and since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales and Ibiza.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Solicitor - Head of Litigation

I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.
