Questions You May Wonder?

With the worldwide pandemic, a number of industries have been negatively impacted, both in the short term and the long term.

  • How do I claim a pedestrian accident?

    In order for a pedestrian's claim for compensation following an accident to be successful, it is necessary to demonstrate that the accident was not the pedestrian's fault but rather the responsibility of another party. If there were any witnesses to the collision, you should immediately report the occurrence and take down their names, addresses, and phone numbers. This can aid your case.

  • Can you claim insurance for a pedestrian hit by car?

    If you are a pedestrian who has been hurt as a result of a road traffic accident, then you will be eligible to make a claim for compensation for your injuries if you were involved in the accident. This is true regardless of the reason why your injuries occurred. You have the legal right to file a claim for compensation regardless of whether or not the driver of the vehicle was totally or partially liable for the collision.

  • Can a pedestrian claim against a driver?

    After a pedestrian accident, it's crucial to seek medical attention immediately to document your injuries. Next, report the incident to local law enforcement and ensure an official report is filed. Gathering evidence is also vital; take photos of the accident scene, and collect contact information from any witnesses. These steps will help support your claim that the accident was caused by another party's negligence, which is essential when seeking compensation.

    In the event that you have suffered a personal injury, you have the legal right to seek compensation for your pain and suffering, as well as for any lost wages and potential future wages.
