What can I claim for if I have been injured in a pedestrian accident?

If you have been injured as a pedestrian in an accident involving a motor vehicle you may be wondering whether you are able to make a claim for compensation and, if so, what exactly you can claim for. Our Loyalty Law expert solicitors specialise in pedestrian accident claims and will be able to talk you through the claims process, advise you on the chances of succeeding in pursuing a successful claim and answer any questions you may have.

If your claim is successful your claim for compensation will be split into two parts – your claim for the pain and suffering you have incurred as a result of your injuries (called your general damages claim) and your claim for any out of pocket expenses you have incurred (call your special damages claim).

As part of your general damages claim you will be able to claim damages to compensate you for the pain and suffering you have incurred as a result of your injuries. Your solicitor will assess the value of your general damages claim by commissioning a medical report (detailing your injuries and providing a firm prognosis) and will then compare your injuries with Claimants in previous cases who have suffered similar injuries to your own and have taken a similar amount of time to recover. Your solicitor will also look at guidelines called the Judicial Studies Board Guidelines to assess how much your general damages claim might be worth.

Your special damages claim will be made up of any out of pocket expenses you have incurred as a result of the accident. This may include items such as lost earnings, lost overtime, travelling expenses to medical appointments, prescriptions charges and treatment costs.

Why Choose Loyalty Law For Your Pedestrian Accident Claim?

All Loyalty Law solicitors are checked and vetted to ensure that they meet our criteria in the following ways:-

• Before they can start working for you, they are interviewed by our managing director, a solicitor himself (although no longer practising). He is quickly able to assess whether they have the legal skills needed, but also whether they are easy to speak with on the telephone and will give you the service that you deserve.
• At the end of every accident claim, we carry out an interview with each client to ensure that they have been completely satisfied with the service provided. This ensures that not only does the solicitor start off by providing an excellent service, but through continual feedback they continue to achieve the right levels of service for you. It means that people like you are constantly monitoring and providing feedback on the service and is one of the reasons why we believe that you should ask Loyalty Law to help you find the right solicitor.
