Pedestrian injuries we handle
Injuries you can claim for
Getting struck by a vehicle does serious damage to the human body. Whatever injuries you're dealing with, we've handled road traffic accident claims like yours before.
Spinal cord damage
When your spine gets injured, paralysis becomes a real possibility. Where the damage occurs determines how much of your body is affected.
Head & brain trauma
Concussions, skull fractures, and brain swelling from your head hitting the car or ground. Even "minor" head injuries can have lasting effects.
Neck & back problems
Whiplash injury compensation, chronic pain, and reduced mobility can plague you long after the accident. Some need ongoing treatment for years.
Psychological trauma
Being hit by a car can cause anxiety, depression and PTSD as well as physical injuries. Your compensation should reflect these effects.
Important information
No Win No Fee1
With No Win No Fee, you do not pay your solicitor’s legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, a success fee of 42% incl. VAT will be charged. If you cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period, your chosen solicitor may charge a cancellation fee for any work undertaken to that point.
Your choice of representation
You are not required to use a claims management company to make a personal injury claim. It is possible to present the claim yourself for free, either directly to the person you wish to claim against, or through an authorised person such as a solicitor.

0330 912 0772Pedestrian accident claims FAQ
Questions about making a pedestrian accident claim? Call us on 0330 912 0772.
If a driver's negligence caused your injuries, through careless driving, speeding, or failing to look properly, you absolutely deserve compensation. Like cycling accident claims, pedestrians are classed as vulnerable road users with no protection against a moving vehicle.
Medical bills mounting up, time off work, and the emotional trauma of being struck by a car shouldn't be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0330 912 0772. It's No Win, No Fee¹. A success fee of 42% incl. VAT will be charged if your claim succeeds. If you cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period, your chosen solicitor may charge a cancellation fee for any work undertaken to that point.
Yes, you can still claim even if you contributed to the accident. The law uses contributory negligence, your compensation may be reduced, but if the driver was mostly at fault, you still deserve a payout. Don't let insurers shift all the blame onto you.
Compensation depends on your injuries, recovery time, lost wages, and how the accident has affected your life. Minor injuries may settle for a few thousand pounds, while serious injuries like spinal damage or brain trauma can be worth significantly more. You can also claim for medical bills, lost earnings, and care costs.
You can still get full compensation through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB). They handle hit and run claims where the driver can't be found or was uninsured.
Report to the police immediately and gather any evidence you can, CCTV, witness details, photos of the scene. The system is designed to protect pedestrians like you when drivers flee.
Absolutely. As a parent or guardian, you can claim on your child's behalf. Children are especially vulnerable as pedestrians, and the law recognises this. You can claim for medical costs, therapy, educational support, and your own lost earnings from caring for them.
You have three years from the accident date to start your claim. For children, the three-year countdown doesn't begin until their 18th birthday. Don't wait though. Evidence disappears and witnesses forget details over time.
Pedestrian accidents remain a serious problem on UK roads. According to Department for Transport statistics (2022), over 7,000 pedestrians were injured on UK roads, with more than 2,500 suffering serious injuries. Tragically, 355 pedestrians were killed that year, making up nearly a quarter of all road fatalities.
These numbers highlight why it's so important to claim the compensation you're entitled to if you've been injured as a pedestrian in an accident that wasn't your fault.
Every day, we help hundreds of people across the UK claim the compensation they deserve after a pedestrian accident.
Don't let a careless driver's mistake cost you thousands. We'll work to get you the compensation you're entitled to, and there are no upfront costs*.
