Road Accidents Involving Pedestrians
If you have suffered injuries in a road collision as a pedestrian, you may be entitled to seek compensation through road accident claims. In the UK, road users owe a duty of care to other users of the road. If road users fail in their duty of care and this failure has resulted in road accidents, it could amount to negligence and the person responsible for the accident may be liable to pay compensation to the injured party.
Pedestrians are a group of road users who are more vulnerable than drivers of vehicles or passengers. Due to lack of outside protection, road accidents involving pedestrians can cause serious injuries and may even lead to death. If you or a member of your family has been a victim of road accidents as a pedestrian, you must understand that you have the legal rights to put up road accident claims and seek compensation for your damages.
Road Accident Claims
As with all other types of personal injury claims, it is important for you to prove that someone else was responsible for your injuries. Following an accident, it is important for you to collect details of the other party involved in the accident. Details include names, phone number, insurance details and address of your opponent and contact details of witnesses present.
Reporting the accident to the police is also important even if you suffered injuries in a road accident caused by an insured vehicle or if it was a hit and run case. Moreover, no matter which type of injuries you suffered as a result of the accident, you must get your injuries examined in a hospital and obtain medical reports.
Since there are strict time limits for making personal injury claims, you must seek legal advice as soon as possible following the accident. Seeking legal advice will help you confirm whether or not you have a valid claim for compensation and the amount of compensation that you may be able to obtain.
