Pedestrian accident claims can involve many different circumstances, for example, if you are hit by a vehicle whilst on the pavement, or whilst on a pedestrian crossing, you could have a strong case to pursue a claim against the driver.

If you are a pedestrian that has been injured whilst trying to avoid a carelessly driven vehicle, you still could be entitled to make a pedestrian compensation claim, even if the vehicle did not come into contact with you.

Road traffic accidents involving pedestrians can be more complicated if the pedestrian has not crossed at a designated pedestrian crossing. In these cases your chance of claiming compensation would depend on who is at fault for the accident.
