Pedestrian Accident Solicitors - Your Path to Just Compensation

After a pedestrian accident, ensure your safety by moving to a secure location if possible, then call emergency services to report the accident and receive medical attention. Document the scene by taking photographs and gathering contact information from witnesses. Even if you feel fine, it’s crucial to get a medical evaluation as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. 

You may have a valid claim if you were injured as a pedestrian and the accident was due to someone else’s negligence, such as a driver, cyclist, or property owner who failed to maintain safe conditions. Consulting with a pedestrian accident solicitor can help you determine the strength of your claim based on the evidence and circumstances. 

Victims of pedestrian accidents can claim compensation for various damages including: 

• • Medical expenses (both current and future) 
  • Lost wages if you are unable to work due to your injuries 
  • Pain and suffering 
  • Loss of enjoyment of life 
  • Rehabilitation costs 

Any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred due to the accident. 

Generally, the time limit for filing a pedestrian accident claim in the UK is three years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions, such as for children or individuals who are mentally incapacitated, where the time limits can vary.

You can still pursue a claim for compensation through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), which helps victims of uninsured or hit and run drivers. Our solicitors can assist you in navigating this process to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Most pedestrian accident claims are settled out of court through negotiations with the responsible party’s insurance company. However, if a satisfactory agreement cannot be reached, your case may need to be resolved in court. Our experienced solicitors will prepare your case thoroughly and represent you to ensure the best possible outcome. 

 Our firm operates on a no win no fee basis, which means you won’t have to pay any upfront fees. Our costs are recovered only if we win your case, and they are typically a percentage of the compensation awarded. We provide clear information about fee structures from the outset.
