How to Calculate Pedestrian Accident Compensation.

Estimating the final settlement value of a Pedestrian Accident Compensation Claim is seldom straightforward, certainly at the outset of the claims process. Every accident is unique, as are the injuries they cause and the people they affect.

The general damages element of your claim is largely proportional to the nature and severity of your injuries, whilst also being affected by the anticipated effects your injury is going to have on your immediate and future life.

The figures above are published by the Judicial College, and serve only as guidelines on which to calculate compensation for the 'general damages' element of your accident claim.

Your medical reports will be used to assess your injury against the guidelines provided, thus allowing injuries to be classified into the appropriate compensation bracket and giving an indication of the level of general damages you may receive.

Where the injuries sustained are of a serious nature, it is sometimes practical to allow a reasonable amount of time for the true scale of the physical, and, or psychological impacts of the injury to be understood. In cases such as these, further medical reports may sometimes be required to allow an accurate assessment of your injury, your potential medical needs and therefore, the value of your claim.

Where appropriate and where liability is clear and without question, we can also seek to arrange interim compensation payments to help you with your medical expenses and to cover any loss of earnings.

With all of this in mind, Sheldon Davidson Solicitors can assure you that we will be there to support you and guide you through every stage of the process, starting with ensuring you have access to the best medical expertise and treatments to help promote the best recovery possible.

 

What impacts the value of Compensation in a Pedestrian Accident Claim?

There are a multitude of different types of pedestrian accidents that occur on Britain’s roads, with every resultant claim having its own set of unique circumstances. Whilst some accidents are caused by the negligence of other road users, such as a driver not paying attention and colliding with you on a pedestrian crossing, others are caused by environmental factors, such as potholes, blind spots, pavement obstructions, etc.

In cases where the accident was caused by an environmental factor, rather than the negligence of the driver, your claim would need to be made against those with legal responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the road or pavement where you suffered your injury.

When evaluating any form of compensation claim, the following factors are considered:

  • How severe is the pedestrian’s injury?
  • What is the anticipated recovery time of the injured party?
  • To what degree is the injured person likely to recover?
  • What changes to their physical and mental ability has the injured party sustained?
  • What medical treatments and therapies have they already received and what are they likely to require going forward, and what are the historic and future cost implications?
  • What is the age of the claimant?
  • Is there a requirement for ongoing care, and if so, will this be at home or will it require specialist residential care?
  • Are they able to return to work, and if so, how quickly and in what capacity?

 

How much compensation can you expect?

The total amount of compensation you will receive will consist of both general damages and special damages. The value of the general damages element of your compensation award will differ according to the severity and extent of your injury, your anticipated recovery time, and the degree to which you will make a full recovery.

The special damages are intended to recompense the injured party for the financial losses suffered and the financial expenses they have incurred as a result of the accident and will include such things as:

  • past and future lost earnings
  • medical expenses - historic and anticipated
  • adaptations to your home or vehicle
  • specialist equipment such as hoists, stairlifts, mobility equipment or daily living aids
  • prescription costs
  • travel expenses to medical appointments

In your free initial consultation, we will gather the information required to allow us to build a more detailed picture of your claim, thus enabling us to provide you with a more accurate idea of the potential compensation amounts.

 

Is there a time limit for Pedestrian Injury Compensation Claims?

Normally, injury compensation claims made in England and Wales must be made within 3 years from the accident. This applies to the start of legal proceedings, and not to seek a legal consultation with the intent of starting a compensation claim.

There are, however, a few exemptions which may extend the time limit on your claim. These include:

  • Child Injury Claims, which expire on the child’s 21st birthday.
  • Claims involving patients under the Mental health Act 1983, where the time limit only starts from the day the claimant is given legal mental capacity.
  • Fatal Injury Claims, which have a 3 year limit from the date of death or the date of knowledge.

Many circumstances may affect your pedestrian car accident compensation claim time limit. If you’re unsure about your claim’s validity, contact our team today. We can assess your case and inform you about how any factors may be affecting your time limit.

 

Pedestrian Hit By Car Compensation In Hit and Run Incidents.

According to figures from 2018, over 26,000 people were injured in accidents involving hit and run, untraceable, and uninsured drivers. If you are a pedestrian hit by a car, compensation is there to help you get your life back on track even if the driver left the scene.

130 people lost their lives in these accidents. But what if you're a pedestrian who was hit by an untraceable driver? Could you claim hit and run compensation? And if so, where would the compensation come from?

If you were hit by a car that drove off, you'll be relieved to learn that you could still make a pedestrian accident claim. However, if the driver is untraceable, your claim would usually go through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB). The MIB is an organisation that compensates those injured by uninsured and untraceable drivers.

It is always recommended that you speak to an experienced road accident solicitor first though in order to ensure that the correct course of action is taken and the correct amount of compensation is applied for.
