Pedestrian injuries we handle
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.
When your spine gets injured, paralysis becomes a real possibility. Where the damage occurs determines how much of your body is affected.
Concussions, skull fractures, and brain swelling from your head hitting the car or ground. Even "minor" head injuries can have lasting effects.
The force of impact can cause internal bleeding and damage to your liver, spleen, or kidneys. These injuries aren't always obvious immediately.
Arms, legs, ribs, pelvis, any bone can snap when a car hits you. Multiple fractures are common in pedestrian accidents.
Whiplash injury compensation, chronic pain, and reduced mobility can plague you long after the accident. Some need ongoing treatment for years.
Being hit by a car doesn't just hurt your body. Anxiety, depression, and PTSD are real consequences that deserve real compensation.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a pedestrian accident claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
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 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
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.
