Pedestrian accident claims

 

Knocked over in the road? Hit and run driver? Slip, Trip or Fall?
Injured by street furniture?

 

We can help you claim pedestrian accident compensation if you have been injured whilst walking on the pavement or on the highway. Many pedestrians, particularly in busy cities are struck by vehicles whilst crossing the road and can sustain sometimes catastrophic injuries.

 

Even where accident circumstances suggest that pedestrians could be at fault, we can use our vast experience of such personal injury claims to prove otherwise, we have won many seemingly hopeless cases on behalf of pedestrians and with the compensation we have secured for them they have been able to rebuild their lives.

 

Even where the driver of the vehicle doesn’t stop and leaves you injured in the road, we can help you make a claim against the Motor Insurers Bureau under the ‘Untraced Drivers’ scheme. This will enable you to claim compensation even if the person at fault cannot be found.

Slip, Trip or Fall

 

We have now pursued in excess of 5,000 claims on behalf of pedestrians who have been injured having fallen over a defect on the highway. Yes, that is correct over 5,000 cases! In fact our practice has been built on being able to win slip, trip and fall accidents on behalf of pedestrians where other solicitors merely give up.

 

We have an enormous data base of how certain councils conduct their road maintenance policy and we are able to use this vast and almost secret information to your advantage. Many councils defend claims stating that they have a good system of inspection and repair of the highway and therefore are not liable for pedestrian accident claims.

 

We have particular expertise in analysing their computer inspection records and finding legal ways to overcome their defence. We would be happy to discuss our experience with you and to help you in making a pedestrian accident claim against the council for a fall caused by a defect in the highway.

 

If you have fallen in these circumstances it is essential that the evidence of the fall is preserved. We would advise you to take photographs from various ranges including a panoramic view of the area where the accident took place. You should also try to measure the height or depth of the defect over which you fell and take a picture preferably with a ruler showing an accurate measurement. You should make a note of the date you took the photographs and keep them as they will be evidence to be used in your pedestrian accident case.

 

Also names of any witnesses who saw you fall or attended to you immediately thereafter can be essential in these personal injury claims cases.

 

Also any witnesses who can say how long the defect has been present in that area, for example adjoining property owners or shop keepers in the local area can be the “silver bullet” to fire at the council to prove your case. Please help us to help you by preserving as much evidence as you can or call us immediately for advice on emergency action to be taken that will “make or break” your case.

 

Injured by Street Furniture?

 

We are amazed at how often contractors erect signs, posts and displays in the street at a dangerous height. We have fought many personal injury claims cases successfully where people have incurred enormous pain banging their head on an inappropriately placed sign. Most of our clients feel “stupid” at having collided with a sign but it is not their fault. It is patently obvious that anything placed on a highway should be at a substantial height to allow safe passage and so avoid pedestrian accidents.

 

All our pedestrian personal injury claims are run on a strict ‘no win – no fee’ basis with 100% damages being paid over to our clients on the successful conclusion of the case. On some, but not all, of our pedestrian accident cases we can also give our clients a ‘thank you’ incentive payment of £250 or in road traffic accident cases 110% compensation subject to terms and conditions as can be found throughout this site.

 

We do not offer an incentive payment for slip, trip and fall cases because these require a massive amount of investigation by us and we prefer to spend the money on those investigations rather than offering a straight incentive. It is more important that we win the case and apply as much money and effort as we can in preserving and investigating the pedestrian accident claim.
