The Injury Lawyers understands the challenges you face and is dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of a pedestrian injury claim to secure the compensation you rightfully deserve.
Pedestrian accidents can have devastating consequences, leaving victims with physical injuries, emotional distress, and significant financial burdens. Whether you have been struck by a vehicle or injured due to unsafe road conditions, this comprehensive guide outlines your rights, the steps to take, and how our expert team can support you in achieving justice.
Understanding Your Rights in a Pedestrian Injury Claim
As a pedestrian, you are entitled to safety on roads, crossings, and pavements. When a driver’s negligence—such as speeding, distracted driving, failing to give way, or ignoring traffic signals—causes an accident, you may be eligible to file a pedestrian injury claim.
Common injuries in these incidents can include fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, and soft tissue injuries, all of which can lead to long-term physical and emotional consequences. Compensation from a successful claim can cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Proving liability can be critical in a pedestrian injury claim. The Injury Lawyers meticulously gathers evidence to build a strong case, and our expertise ensures that all aspects of your claim are thoroughly documented, increasing the likelihood of a favourable outcome.
Steps to Take After a Pedestrian Accident
Taking prompt and strategic action after an accident is essential to strengthen your pedestrian injury claim. First, seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries appear minor. Some injuries, like concussions or internal damage, may not be immediately apparent but can worsen without treatment.
Medical records can serve as crucial evidence in your claim. If necessary, report the incident to the police to ensure an official record is created. Collect the driver’s details, including their name, contact information, and insurance details, and note down contact information for any witnesses, if possible, and take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any relevant road conditions if possible also.
Contacting The Injury Lawyers as soon as possible is a critical step. Our experienced legal team can guide you through the entire process, from starting your claim to negotiating with insurance companies.
Insurers often attempt to minimise payouts or pressure victims into accepting low settlement offers. With our expertise, we can protect you from these tactics, ensuring your claim reflects the full extent of your losses. We also advise on preserving evidence, such as keeping damaged clothing or documenting ongoing medical treatments, to bolster your case.
