About No Win No Fee

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
Head and brain injuries
Fractures and broken bones. Most often in the arms, legs, and ribs.
Spinal cord injuries. Resulting in long-term mobility issues or even paralysis.
Cuts, bruises, and burns. Skin injuries from sliding on the road or being exposed to hot surfaces.
Loss of limb
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.

Grace Chapman, Sheffield – Client of Solicitor, Grace Newbold

Professional, Highly Recommended I was recommended ASD from a family member. I am so pleased I followed this up. Chris Chappell has been so professional, caring, understanding and honest throughout the process. It has meant a lot.

It’s been one of the hardest times for me, especially losing my job as well, whilst off work and in a pandemic. It has taught me a lot about companies, but it has also made me realise companies like yours are there to help.

I had never been in this position before and it was a very hard time for me.

Roger Parkin, Rotherham – Client of Solicitor, Grace Newbold

I contacted ASD after being involved in a serious accident that left me with a significant leg injury.

ASD offered a home appointment as I was unable to travel and visited within 24 hours of me contacting them.

Throughout my case I was updated regularly and everything was explained clearly. Any phone calls or emails that I sent were answered quickly and I was never left waiting for a response.

I was supported throughout; I was dealing with a traumatic incident and ASD kindly arranged for counselling to be provided.

I am very grateful to Ralph and his team for everything they did but also showing compassion and giving reassurance throughout and most of all understanding what I was going through.

Pedestrian Claims Frequently asked questions

Read all FAQs

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.
