Main Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

There are various reasons why someone might get hit by a vehicle. Often, this is due to careless or dangerous driving. 

  • Failing to stop at zebra crossings or traffic lights
  • Speeding in residential areas
  • Distracted driving (e.g. texting or using a phone)
  • Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Poor visibility or weather conditions
  • Reversing without checking mirrors and blind spots
  • Lack of adequate pedestrian infrastructure (e.g. crossings or pavements)

No matter the circumstances, if the accident was not your fault, you could be eligible to pursue a pedestrian accident claim.

Common Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents

When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, the injuries can be extremely serious. Common injuries in pedestrian injury claims include:

  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Fractures and broken bones. Most often in the arms, legs, and ribs.
  • Cuts, bruises, and burns. Skin injuries from sliding on the road or being exposed to hot surfaces.
  • Internal injuries
  • Psychological trauma, including PTSD or anxiety. 

If you’ve suffered any of these injuries—or others—our team can help you secure the compensation a pedestrian hit by a car deserves and is entitled to. Contact us today to discuss your claim.

Pedestrian Claims Frequently Asked Questions

Can I claim that I was hit by a car if I was partially at fault?

Yes, you may still be eligible to make a pedestrian accident claim even if you were partly to blame. This is known as “contributory negligence”, and while it may reduce your compensation, it doesn’t prevent you from making a claim.

How much compensation could I receive for a pedestrian injury claim?

The amount you can claim depends on the severity of your injuries, financial losses, and impact on your daily life. Our specialist pedestrian accident solicitors will assess your case and help you pursue the maximum compensation possible.

Is there a time limit to make a pedestrian accident claim?

Yes. You generally have three years from the date of the accident to make a pedestrian injury claim. However, exceptions apply for children and those lacking mental capacity. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.

What if I was injured while walking in a car park or private road?

You can still make a pedestrian accident claim if the accident occurred in a car park, private road, or any public space where the driver owed you a duty of care.
