Pedestrian Accident Claims
Immediate Action & Why You Can Claim
Being hit by a vehicle or suffering an injury from a trip or fall on a public pavement can result in severe trauma, broken bones, or permanent injury. If you have suffered an injury because of a negligent driver or a local authority's failure to maintain public walkways, you are entitled to pursue compensation for your injuries and financial losses.

The Legal Duty: Proving Fault on Roads and Pavements
Drivers, businesses, and local councils all owe a duty of care to pedestrians. We help you claim where the accident was caused by:
Being hit by a negligent driver.
Trips or falls due to poorly maintained public pavements, manholes, or potholes.
Dangerous conditions created by businesses (e.g., wet floors, construction debris) on public land.
Crucial Evidence: Protect Your Claim
The evidence you gather immediately following an accident is vital to proving your case against the responsible party. We strongly advise you to:
Secure negligent driver’s details and make, model and registration of vehicle.
Secure Witness Details
Get names and phone numbers of any witnesses immediately.
Seek Medical Help
Attend your GP or A&E immediately. Medical records linking the injury to the accident are essential for valuation.
Document Everything
Take clear photographs of the scene, the defect (e.g., measuring the depth of a pothole), and the general hazard.
Report the Hazard
If appropriate, ensure the hazard (e.g., pothole) has been reported to the local council or property owner.
