Road victims who claim vehicle accident compensation are usually drivers or passengers who have not been at fault in a car crash and have been travelling in one or more of the vehicles involved but there are occasions where pedestrians and other bystanders may be eligible to seek damages.
Pedestrians may be injured or killed if a vehicle mounts the pavement because the driver loses control for some reason and hundreds are hurt each year in the UK as they cross streets.
If someone is using an approved crossing in the correct manner but a driver injures them, a good case for personal injury compensation can usually be made. It is a little more complicated if the vehicle accident occurs away from a crossing and liability for an accident then may be disputed between the driver and pedestrian.
Car parks can also be a source of danger for people walking to or from their cars with the narrow confines, especially in multi-storey parks, making a conflict of interest between the users. Even car parks on private land are subject to the same laws on personal injury as public areas.
Bystanders, property owners and workmen are among other groups who could be involved in an injury accident just by being unlucky while getting on with their lives. Lorries and other large vehicles such as buses have been known to crash into houses in narrow streets, causing damage and injury to the occupants.
Workmen, particularly those maintaining or repairing roads, are particularly vulnerable to being in a collision with a vehicle. The signs warning of roadworks should be sufficient to alert motorists of the possibility of danger and workers usually have high-visibility clothing.
Pedestrians have a duty to look after themselves but drivers have a greater obligation to protect other road users from their actions or neglect when behind the steering wheel. Even if someone on foot could be regarded as partly responsible for any misfortune which occurs on or beside a road, an experienced personal injury solicitor will be able to advise on how to pursue a case for justified recompense as part of a vehicle accident claim.
