Common Hit and Run Injuries
Whatever vehicle you’ve been hit by, you could suffer serious injuries which will have a major impact on your life. The fact that pedestrians have little or no protection when involved in a collision with a vehicle means that they are are at risk of serious injury. As a pedestrian, if you are hit by a car, you are very lucky if you escape with minor injuries such as cuts and bruises. Unfortunately, in many cases, people hit by cars suffer much more serious life changing injuries. Some of the most common types of injuries we help people claim compensation for include:
Minor Injuries
The type of minor injuries suffered by anyone involved in a collision with a car include things like scrapes, cuts, bruises, sprains along with deeper lacerations and gashes. While these types of injury may only require a small amount of medical treatment, they can leave the victim with long term scars. No matter how minor your accident, there is no doubt that it can also impact on your emotional wellbeing.
Broken Bones
Even if the vehicle that hits you is travelling slowly because of the size and weight of the vehicle, there is a good chance you could end up with broken or fractured bones. Broken bones often need a high level of medical care and can result in people missing and have a negative impact on their social life. Statistics on the gov.uk site show that 13,041 pedestrians suffered minor injuries in accidents during 2022.
Head, Brain and Spinal Injuries
The heavy impact of a collision can often result in pedestrians hitting the ground at force with little of no time to protect themselves. When this happens it can result in them suffering serious head, brain or spinal injuries that can often be life changing resulting in paraplegia or quadriplegia or severe brain damage. The gov.uk website shows that 5,901 pedestrians were severely injured in collisions with cars or other vehicles.
Long Term Mental and Emotional Trauma
The after effects of being hit be a car or any other type of vehicle may continue long after any physical pain and suffering has gone. People involved in accidents find it difficult to leave the house and walk along pavements or cross the road. Emotional trauma can be just as debilitating as any physical injury and as such is just as worthy of pedestrian accident compensation.
Fatalities
Unfortunately not everyone survives a collision with a car or any other type of vehicle. Government statistics show that in 2022, 385 pedestrians were fatally injured in road traffic accidents in the UK. While not every fatality is the result of negligence on the part of the motorist, if you want to claim compensation for an accident in which you lost a loved one where you feel the driver was at fault, we can help.
What Evidence Should You Provide to Support Your Claim
Even in cases where you are absolutely certain your injuries were the result of negligent driving, you will still need supporting evidence. To ensure you get the full amount of pedestrian accident compensation due to you you will need to provide a full account of the accident including, how it happened, whose fault it was and the extent of the injuries you have suffered. The type of evidence it is important to provide to give you the best chance of receiving the maximum amount of compensation includes:
- Details of the vehicle involved make sure you get the make and model of the car as well as the registration number. It is also important to get the details of the drivers insurance company and their contact details.
- Photographs of the Scene We understand that getting information after being involved in an accident may be the last thing on your mind, but if possible take photographs of the scene.
- Report the incident to the Police In the case of serious incidents the police should be informed immediately, when its a minor incident you have up to 24 hours to make a report.
- Witness Statements Get the details of any witnesses as the information they provide can help support your claim.
- CCTV Footage If the area was covered by CCTV, try and make sure you get access to it as this will provide a visual account of the incident.
- Medical Records We would always advise anyone involved in a road traffic accident to attend hospital to have their injuries assessed and documented. These medical records will be pivotal in proving the extent of your injuries and help you receive the level of compensation you deserve.
