Pedestrian Injury Compensation Claim
The worst kind of accident is being hit by a car or any other source as a pedestrian. If you have been in a similar situation, you can make a pedestrian injury compensation claim. The trauma and pain caused by such accidents can be very stressful. Our solicitors can help you make personal injury and accident claims to in order to recover damages.
Road traffic accidents harm more people in Scotland than any other type of mishap. Due to simple negligence, a pedestrian’s injuries can be far more costly than a driver. The driver may escape injury, but the pedestrian may suffer broken or fractured bones. That driver’s insurance must cover all injuries and damages.

Pedestrian injury compensation claim cases
In most cases, you have three years to make a claim against a car driver, taxi driver or taxi company. A personal injury involving only financial loss is different from a serious injury involving medical expenses. The most common injuries are listed below.
- Broken foot
- Broken limb
- Paralysis
- Whiplash injury
- Head and Brain injury
- Spinal Injuries
These injuries can be serious, hence, requiring medical attention, surgery, and in some cases, amputation. Costs and lost earnings add up to a huge sum, so compensation is necessary to cover all costs. Our solicitors are available 24/7 to answer questions about how long for a whiplash claim to pay out and how whiplash claims work.
Average Settlement for pedestrian hit by car
Once third party or driver negligence is proven, the first question is how much compensation can be claimed for a pedestrian accident and does a pedestrian hit by car claim work?

Furthermore, your chances of winning increase if the driver is under the influence or if there are many witnesses. Some typical compensation pay outs:
