Pedestrian Accident Compensation Claims
You may be eligible for compensation if you have been injured in an accident as a pedestrian.
What is a pedestrian accident?
A pedestrian accident occurs when a pedestrian is injured due to being hit by a vehicle. This can include cars, motorcycles, buses, bicycles, and more. Pedestrian injuries can be very serious, so it’s important to be aware of your rights.
Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

- Drivers making illegal turns or disregarding traffic signals
- Poor road design or signage
- Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Drivers failing to yield to pedestrians in designated footpaths.
Am I eligible to make a claim?
