  • A driver who skips a red light or drives through a pedestrian crossing
  • A cyclist who fails to stop at a red light or pedestrian crossing
  • A cyclist who is cycling on the pavement

Compensation for pedestrian accidents

Like all personal injury claims, the compensation you are awarded for a pedestrian accident claim is split into two categories. Firstly, general damages which are awarded as compensation for pain, suffering (including psychological trauma). Secondly, special damages which are the expenses and losses suffered. Making a claim should help to put you back in the financial position you would have been in, were it not for the accident.

Special damages can be a lifeline. You may be unable to work, resulting in a loss of income. You may need ongoing treatment, along with care and assistance at home. All this can cost alot of money. We can make sure that your losses are claimed in full, and that you have enough funds in place to keep paying for the help you need and to access the right medical rehabilitation.
