No matter where you are in the world, road traffic accidents are unfortunately inevitable, and they happen every single day. According to Brake, The Road Safety Charity, five people lose their life on the road in the UK, and 82 are seriously injured. If you’ve been involved in a car accident and it wasn’t your fault, you could be able to make a claim for compensation.
If we take on your case after a free claims assessment, we will: go to Court.
Start gathering evidence, including witness statements, photographs of the accident scene, CCTV and helmet cam or dash cam footage, if available.
Arrange for you to have an independent medical assessment by a specialist medical expert. They’ll prepare a medical report with details of your injuries. This will help us to understand how serious your injuries are, how much they’ve impacted your life and what care and support you’ll need.
Get evidence of the financial impact of your injury. This will be used to help us value your claim and understand how much compensation you should get.
Ask the insurance company of the person who injured you to accept responsibly for your accident.
If they accept responsibility, apply for an interim payment so you can access specialist treatment and rehabilitation and also get some financial support in the short term before your claim settles.
Continue to negotiate a settlement with the other side.
If we can’t reach a settlement and your case has to go to Court, we’ll support you throughout the whole process, but don’t worry - most accident claims do settle before having to go to Court.

Pedestrian accidents often result in serious injuries because pedestrians are usually the most vulnerable of road users. If your injuries are serious and you need ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation, we’ll make sure you get the specialist treatment you need to start to rebuild your life after the accident.
If you need help at home with cooking, cleaning, washing or daily personal care, your compensation can cover the cost of care provided by a nurse, or your friends and family. It can also pay for any adaptations you need at home or the cost of a new place to live if your current home can’t be adapted.
You can also claim for:
You must make a claim within three years of the date of the accident. If you were injured as a child, the three-year time limit to make a claim doesn’t start until your 18th birthday.
It’s really important to get legal advice as soon as you can after your accident so that the accident is fresh in everyone’s mind and the impact of your accident is clear.
We can normally take on a Pedestrian Accident claim on a No Win, No Fee agreement. Just ask us for details.
You can only make a claim for someone else if the injured person is under the age of 18, lacks mental capacity or died in the accident.
