What Is a Pedestrian Accident Claim?
A pedestrian accident compensation claim is the legal process of recovering financial losses after being injured while walking due to another person’s negligence — such as careless driving, speeding, or poor road conditions.
Compensation can cover:
• Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life
• Loss of earnings and future income
• Medical costs and rehabilitation
• Travel and other out-of-pocket expenses

How Much Compensation Could You Get?
Every pedestrian accident claim is unique. The amount of compensation you may receive will always depend on your individual circumstances, including:
The medical evidence of your injury and recovery time
Any loss of earnings and impact on your future income
The long-term effect on your daily life, independence and wellbeing
The cost of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and any ongoing care needs
Travel costs, out-of-pocket expenses, and the impact on your mobility
Your solicitor will calculate the value of your case using medical reports, financial records, and the official Judicial College Guidelines (JCG). This ensures that your pedestrian accident compensation reflects the real impact the accident has had on your life — both now and in the future.
