\"\"If you\u2019ve been unfortunate enough to have been involved in a road traffic accident<\/a> then you may have an injury compensation claim<\/a> to make.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately as a pedestrian you are at the biggest risk if you do become involved in a road traffic accident, especially if it involves a motor vehicle. \u00a0That\u2019s why as a pedestrian you should always be given the right of way by motorists.<\/p>\n

What to do<\/span><\/p>\n

If do become involved in a motor accident it is best to get as many details as possible. Try to get the name of the driver, the registration and make of their vehicle, along with a contact number and the name of their insurance company along with their policy number.
\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a good idea to get the contact details of any witnesses that may have seen the accident, because if you do wish to process a claim this will help back up your statement.<\/p>\n

However if the driver leaves the scene immediately after the accident or fails to give you any contact details you may still have a claim to progress with. Taking details of any witnesses who saw the accident will benefit you in a situation like this.<\/p>\n

In order for your claim to be successful we need to be able to prove that the other person is responsible. Therefore it also helps if you have a camera to hand to take photos of any evidence.<\/p>\n

Here at The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we deal with hundreds of claims relating to road traffic accidents every week and it is our job to make sure that you, the victim receive 100% compensation.<\/p>\n

However in the meantime it is in our interest that you stay safe, so for more information on road safety for you and your family refer to the green cross code or visit Direct.gov for more guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
