\"\"There have been plenty of safety campaigns on television and on street posters aimed at protecting pedestrians, but unfortunately pedestrians are still caught up in road traffic accidents<\/a> as a common occurrence.<\/p>\n

Some fortunately suffer with only minor injuries whilst others are more seriously hurt.\u00a0 In many cases, the pedestrian won\u2019t have been at fault for the accident and is entitled to compensation<\/a> for their injuries \u2013 or may have been partly to blame, but the law is generally on the side of the pedestrian.<\/p>\n

Zebra crossing accidents are one of the more common places where pedestrians are injured by motor vehicles.\u00a0 This is despite zebra crossings having warning signs and being clearly marked out on the road.\u00a0 Even though motorists are supposed to be careful and look out for zebra crossing and beware of people on these crossings and stop, this does not always happen – sadly with serious consequences.
\n
\nThe law is clear.\u00a0 Motorists have a duty of care to other motorists<\/strong>, those they carry in their vehicles, and importantly, pedestrians.\u00a0 In terms of the zebra crossings, the law is equally clear.\u00a0 Zebra crossings are a pedestrian\u2019s right of crossing.\u00a0 Motor vehicles must stop where there is a pedestrian waiting to cross as a zebra crossing or who is already on a zebra crossing.\u00a0 Although it is a pedestrian\u2019s right of crossing and cars should stop, pedestrians should not just walk out onto a crossing without checking the traffic or because cars should stop though. The pedestrian must also remain cautions at all times<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you have been struck by a motor vehicle whilst on a zebra crossing and have been hurt, you may be entitled to compensation for any injuries you have.\u00a0 You should contact an expert injury lawyer as soon as you have been checked out by a medical expert at your local GP or walk in centre so that you can discuss a potential compensation claim.\u00a0 They will be able to advise you as to what you can claim for and whether you are likely to have a successful claim.<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we have dealt with countless pedestrian injury claims and are experts in the field.\u00a0 We guarantee you 100% of any compensation you receive and offer exceptional service levels.\u00a0 For a confidential chat call us for free on 0800 634 75 75<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
