Full Credential Description
META DESCRIPTION: Pearson Personal Injury solicitors secure £120,000 compensation for a pedestrian who was struck by a car whilst walking the dog. £120,000 for a Dog Walker hit by Car £120,000 for a Dog Walker hit by Car Dark nights can lead to road traffic accidents and sometimes the injuries can be life-changing, as in this case where our personal injury lawyers successfully obtained compensation for a dog walker who was hit by a car. Pedestrian Injured whilst walking the dog “When an accident happens and you are injured and inconvenienced through no fault of your own you can make a pedestrian accident claim. The cost of an accident can mount up, you may be off work and needing rehabilitation and that is not taking into account the psychological effects and long lasting issues. A personal injury claim following an accident can secure interim payments ahead of the final settlement which help with rehabilitation,” she added. “Personal injury claims can be made against the driver if they are insured, but if not the Motor Insurers’ Bureau steps in and even if the driver at fault does not stop at the scene of the accident, and no details of the driver or the vehicle involved are recorded, a claim can still be presented to the Motor Insurers’ Bureau under the Untraced Driver’s Agreement.” added Lisa. Pedestrian Injury Settlement The £120,000 secured for this client is a substantial settlement but it did reflect the severity of his injuries which included; a fractured skull, sinus fracture, cervical spine fractures, knee injury, bruising to his feet and lacerations to his face which left permanent scarring. In addition to compensation for the road traffic accident and the physical injuries, this case also took into account psychological symptoms and the specific phobia that the client developed especially when out in the dark and crossing busy roads.
