Pedestrian Accident Claims We Commonly Handle

Pedestrian accidents can happen in an instant but leave lasting consequences, often resulting in serious, life-altering injuries. These accidents are frequently caused by negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, or a lack of proper safety measures, and they can leave victims feeling helpless and overwhelmed. We commonly handle pedestrian accident claims involving the following scenarios:

  • Drivers failing to stop at pedestrian crossings or red lights occur when drivers disregard traffic rules, putting pedestrians in serious danger. We help victims pursue claims against at-fault drivers who negligently ignore their duty of care.
  • Cars mounting pavements or driving dangerously close to pedestrians – Reckless or distracted driving can cause vehicles to veer onto pavements or come perilously close to pedestrians, leading to devastating injuries.
  • Hit-and-run incidents where the driver cannot be traced – Being involved in a hit-and-run can feel particularly distressing. However, even in cases where the driver cannot be identified, victims may still be eligible for compensation through specialised insurance claims or government-funded schemes.
  • Unsafe road conditions, such as potholes or poor signage, can cause accidents – Poorly maintained roads or inadequate signage can create hazardous conditions for pedestrians. In these cases, we investigate whether local authorities or other responsible parties failed in their duty to maintain a safe environment.
  • Distracted or impaired drivers – Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol often cause preventable pedestrian accidents. We ensure these drivers are held accountable for their actions.
  • Accidents near schools, parks, and other high-foot-traffic areas – Pedestrian accidents are particularly common in areas where children and families gather. We work to ensure these cases receive the attention they deserve.

Your Legal Right to Claim Pedestrian Accident Compensation

Pedestrians hold specific legal rights when it comes to road safety. The law requires drivers to exercise a greater duty of care toward pedestrians. If a driver's negligence has caused your accident, you are legally entitled to pursue compensation.

To establish negligence, certain criteria must be met:

  • Evidence that the driver owed you a duty of care.
  • Proof that the driver breached this duty (e.g., reckless driving, distracted behaviour).
  • Confirmation that the breach directly resulted in your injuries.

At HPA Solicitors, we ensure your claim is supported with strong evidence, guiding you through the legal process and advocating for your rights every step.
