Sadly pedestrian accidents are all too common, with thousands of pedestrians being injured (many fatally) on our roads each year.

Pedestrians have little protection against oncoming vehicles and that is why motorists are legally required to take extra care when driving near pedestrians. The law requires that motorists should drive carefully and slowly where there are likely to be pedestrians and should be prepared to stop if a pedestrian were to walk into the road.

In many cases pedestrians who have been injured in road accidents feel they are to blame for causing the accident, but in practice road accidents involving pedestrians are rarely that straightforward. Even where a pedestrian has stepped out into the path of an oncoming vehicle it is still likely the driver will be found partly to blame for the accident.

In these circumstances an injured pedestrian is entitled to claim compensation.
