This work covers claims for injuries suffered by pedestrians in road traffic accidents, where fault and liability are contested and compensation is pursued through the English civil courts. A solicitor acts for the pedestrian claimant, gathering medical evidence, examining liability, negotiating with insurers, and progressing the claim to settlement or to court if needed. They draft statements of claim, value the damages, and manage correspondence with the defendant and their insurer.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key stakes include proving negligence, meeting the three-year limitation period unless an exception applies, and securing appropriate compensation for pain, loss of earnings, care costs and future needs. A solicitor provides structured guidance through the process, ensures proper documentation and redress avenues, and handles court steps or formal settlement agreements.
