Pedestrian Accident Injury Claims

 Pedestrians today are generally involved in two types of accidents; personal injuries caused by other vehicles and personal injuries sustained as a result of a slip or trip.

In today's busy streets with the increased traffic levels, road traffic accidents involving pedestrians are unfortunately always going to occur. If you believe that you were a non-fault pedestrian and injured as a result of a road traffic accident involving a car, bus, lorry or other vehicle, then you may have a potential  personal injury claim. You may have been crossing the road or a pedestrian walking along the pavement when accident occurred which resulted in personal injury.

If you have been the victim of a 'hit and run' or injured by an uninsured driver, then you may still be able to claim compensation for personal injury. The Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) was established as a central fund to provide a means of compensating the victims of road traffic accidents by negligent uninsured and untraced drivers.

The MIB also deal with personal injury claims that involve foreign European Economic Areas vehicles. So if you are involved in an accident with a vehicle from the EEA, whether in the UK or abroad, the MIB may deal with the personal injury claim.

Many pedestrians are injured after tripping over raised or broken pavements, utility covers are by potholes. Many people regard these accidents as trivial but if you are the victim then it is far from trivial, especially if you are unable to work and care for family members.

In most cases, it is usually someone's responsibility to keep a particular place safe for the public – usually the owner or tenant of the premises or the local authority.

Property owners and local authorities are under a duty to ensure that the areas under their control are safe to the public and that all reasonable steps have been taken to ensure their safety. Examples of tripping cases include:

  • Tripping of loose, broken or wobbly paving slabs
  • Tripping on a pothole
  • Tripping on raised paving slab or utility cover
  • Falling down steps that were unsafe
