Accidents to pedestrians

Pedestrian accident compensation claims

The UK has some of the world’s safest roads - if you’re a driver. But, according to the Department of Transport, pedestrians fare less well. If you have been involved in a road traffic accident, which was not your fault, then you may be entitled to make an accident compensation claim. Contact our expert team of personal injury solicitors at Hodge Jones & Allen in London today.

Whose fault was the accident?

You may believe you were partly to blame for causing the accident, perhaps by stepping out into the road without looking. If so, you may wonder if there’s any case for claiming compensation for the accident or that it will be expensive to pursue.

However drivers often share some of the blame. Perhaps they were:

driving too fast
driving recklessly
driving without proper attention
distracted, perhaps by a phone
under the influence of alcohol or drugs
tired

At Hodge Jones & Allen, our specialist personal injury lawyers will assess the circumstances of your accident claim and advise you on your best course of action for compensation. That’s what we did recently for one young woman, hit by a car while crossing the road at a red light. You can read her pedestrian compensation claim story here.

Uninsured driver accident claim

Even if you were the victim of a hit and run accident or an uninsured driver there may still be a way to obtain pedestrian accident compensation which will help you get your life back on track.
