If you have suffered injury whilst a pedestrian and the accident was not your fault, then you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim. At claimssolicitors.co.uk we have a team of no win, no fee solicitors who have expertise in the area of pedestrian accident claims.

In the UK over 20,000 pedestrians are killed or injured each year. Commonly a pedestrian accident involves people being struck by a vehicle whilst on a crossing, or when a vehicle mounts a pavement. Pedestrians are extremely vulnerable and can suffer very serious injuries. However making a pedestrian accident claim against the driver can be difficult. You will probably not have been in a position to gather vehicle details or witness statements at the scene and the driver may assert that you were in some way responsible for the accident.

Whatever the circumstances, we can advise you in your pedestrian accident claim. For example even if the vehicle cannot be traced we can make a claim for you with the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) that handles untraced or un-insured driver accidents. Or if the vehicle is known we can ensure that you get all of the help you need with medical reports, rehabilitation, out-of-pocket expenses etc as well as pursuing a pedestrian accident compensation claim from the driver (or his or her insurers) for the pain and distress caused.

Pedestrian Accident Case Study

Mrs V suffered an ankle injury when she fell in a pothole on the private forecourt of a pizza takeaway shop. Both the building's owners and the tenants of the shop vigorously denied any liability in the matter, so court proceedings had to be issued. However we were successful in making the claim and we recovered £2,300 by way of compensation on her behalf.
