Road Traffic Accident Claim for Pedestrians

Pedestrian Accidents What to Expect?

Unlike Motorists, the risks of suffering an injury which pedestrians have to face are far greater due to their lack of protection from their environment. The biggest risk for pedestrians is that they are at the mercy of other people i.e. motorists and in the event of an accident the injuries sustained by pedestrians are more serious due to their unprotected state.

If the accident was caused by your lack of care when stepping on the road then you will not be able to make a road traffic accident claim as you are solely responsible for your injuries. Pedestrians need to take special care as being hit by a moving vehicle even at low speeds can have devastating effects.

How to Claim a Pedestrian Accident?

For you to be able to make a successful road traffic accident claim you need to first show that you have actually suffered an injury as a result of the accident. Furthermore, you will also have to prove that the accident was caused due the negligence of the driver. However, seeking medical attention should be your first priority. Not seeking immediate medical treatment will reflect poorly on your Road Traffic Accident Claim. Besides, you will need medical evidence to support your claim.
