If you or a loved one have been injured as a Pedestrian following some form of an accident involving another road user due to an accident, the impact on the victim, their health, and well-being can range from minor injuries to very severe.
If you are looking for information on what level of compensation you may be entitled to, whether you've been injured while crossing the road as a Pedestrian or in an accident where a vehicle has mounted the pavement, then our helpful Pedestrian Accident Compensation Calculator will be of use.
Out of all road traffic accidents that take place each day in the UK, Pedestrians are the most vulnerable. When involved in a road traffic accident, especially one that involves being hit by a car, a pedestrian will receive the full force of the impact, which often results in severe and often life-changing injury.
Figures released by the 'Department of Transport reveal that in 2018 the number of pedestrians injured in road accidents topped 28,700+, of which 7,420 of these were killed or seriously injured (KSI’s) by road user types.
Almost a third of all pedestrian accidents in the UK comprises children and young people. Children can be unaware of the dangers surrounding them near schools or playgrounds and parks. If they have not learned to cross roads safely and fully appreciate the speed of moving vehicles then, the vulnerability of the child can be tragically exposed.
If you have been injured in an accident as a pedestrian and you want free advice on how much compensation your claim is worth from a fully qualified personal injury solicitor, then please contact us today to talk to one of our team.
Using one of our specialist No Win No Fee Accident Claims Solicitors ensures that you have a better chance of winning your claim and receiving all of the compensation and help that you are entitled to.

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.

Richard Layfield LLB (Hons)
Since joining PSR Solicitors in March 2013 I opened and managed our Rhyl office and became head of the Personal Injury department shortly thereafter. I therefore have responsible for managing Person Injury cases throughout the firm. In January 2024 I relocated to our head office in Chester.
I completed both my Law LLB and LPC degrees at Cardiff University, graduating in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Thereafter, I completed my 2-year training contract at a firm based in Cardiff. 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 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. I handle all types off personal injury claims from the minor right through to complex more serious injury claims.
Outside of work I enjoy running and hiking, going to the gym, travel, cooking and am a keen rugby fan.

Solicitor - Head of Litigation
Mark House LLB (Hons)
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.

More often than not it is difficult to estimate the final settlement of a Pedestrian accident compensation claim, at least at the very start of the claims process. Every case is different, and the final compensation value is largely proportional to the severity and scale of the injuries sustained.
In situations where extremely serious injuries have occurred, it may be prudent to allow time for medical professionals to assess the scale of physical, and, or psychological injury.
Where a serious and potentially life-changing injury is sustained, interim compensation payments can be arranged where liability is clear and without question. With all of this in mind, PSR Solicitors can assure you that we will be there to guide you and support you every step of the way. Our most immediate concern will be to ensure access is made to the very best medical expertise and treatments to help promote the best recovery possible.
Compensation awarded will be dependent on the injuries sustained and the level of severity and circumstances involved. PSR Solicitors are specialist personal injury solicitors and have a successful track record in settling a diverse range of pedestrian accident compensation claims.
The guide below provides provisional 'general' damages compensation values as set out in the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG). General damages are meant to compensate for general pain & suffering caused by the injuries sustained by the pedestrian.
Many factors should be considered when calculating the amount of compensation you deserve. The damages you may suffer in an accident as a pedestrian accident can be divided into General Damages and Special Damages, and will usually cover:
Every personal injury claim involving a pedestrian accident will require a deep assessment to appreciate the context and circumstances of the event. It is almost impossible to quantify the amount of compensation you may be entitled to without a consultation with one of our expert pedestrian accident solicitors. Contact us today for a chat about your case.
There are many different types of pedestrian accidents that occur on the UK’s roads, and every claim situation is almost unique in its own way. Some common examples of situations which lead to road traffic accidents involving pedestrians are:
Not all pedestrian accidents, consequently, are caused due to the driver. It could be that you need to pursue a claim against the council if the roads in the area you had your accident were poorly maintained.
There are ever-increasing numbers of drivers on the roads with no insurance, with research from the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) showing that over 1.7 million drivers are uninsured, which is an alarming statistic.
The MIB is a group that was established in 1946 as a central fund to assure that members of the public who have been injured by an Uninsured or Untraced Driver are still eligible to claim compensation for their injuries. Our team of expert solicitors will help you deal with the MIB, whether through the Uninsured Drivers Scheme or Untraced Drivers Scheme. In cases where an insurance company does have a policy on a vehicle, but the driver involved is not covered, a successful claim can still be made.
At PSR Solicitors we operate a ”No Win No Fee” promise, meaning no upfront charges apply when you choose to proceed with PSR, and in the unlikely event a claim was ever found to be unsuccessful, you will not have to pay costs for any legal work already undertaken.
This essentially allows you to pursue a claim without worrying about any impending financial loss whatsoever. Our specialist solicitors are ready to speak with you to discuss any enquiries with you in strict confidence. Call the Pedestrian Accident Solicitors at PSR today
