If you or someone you know has been involved in a road accident as a pedestrian or cyclist, you will understand first-hand the devastating effects it can have on the injured person and their family.
Victims of road accidents may face long periods of incapacitation where they are unable to work or care for themselves, relying on family members for assistance and support.
Parents of children who have been injured as pedestrians face the anguish of seeing their child hurt and in distress. They will likely have concerns regarding their child’s physical and psychological recovery and may need to take time off work to care for their child. Financial worries are often part of the accident’s aftermath.
Can pedestrians and cyclists claim compensation?
Yes. Claiming compensation after being injured as a pedestrian or cyclist in a road accident can provide much-needed financial relief and support for your recovery. Compensation can cover medical expenses, loss of income, and other associated costs, giving vital support to the injured person and their family, if necessary.
With experience across all areas of compensation and personal injury law, CAPA LAW Solicitors in Liverpool can help you or a loved one pursue their rights to compensation for injuries sustained in a cycling or pedestrian road accident.
What is the process for claiming compensation?
The process begins with establishing fault, which can be complex in accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians. We will need to analyse the circumstances of the accident, which often requires collecting and reviewing evidence such as witness statements and police reports and arranging site inspections and other investigations.
Once fault is determined, your solicitor will guide you through the intricacies of filing a compensation claim, ensuring that the procedural requirements are met. We work closely with reliable experts to ensure that every consideration is given to your claim. Even if an injured person is considered partly to blame, this may not prevent them from claiming compensation. We leave no stone unturned to seek the maximum compensation to which our clients are entitled.
