What is the Claims Process?

If we take on your case after a free claims assessment, we will: go to Court.

    1

    Gathering Evidence

    Start gathering evidence, including witness statements, photographs of the accident scene, CCTV and helmet cam or dash cam footage, if available.

    2

    Medical Assessment

    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.

    3

    Valuing Your Claim

    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.

    4

    Accepting Responsibility

    Ask the insurance company of the person who injured you to accept responsibly for your accident.

    5

    Interim Payment

    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.

    6

    Negotiating a Settlement

    Continue to negotiate a settlement with the other side.

    7

    Settling Your Claim

    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.

FAQs about Pedestrian Accident Claims

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:

  • Your physical injuries
  • Any psychological injuries
  • Loss of earnings, both past and future
  • Expenses such as medication, prescription costs and taxis
  • Damage to your personal property
  • Rehabilitation support
  • Loss of pension rights

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.
