What is a pedestrian accident claim?
A pedestrian accident claim is a claim made by a pedestrian who is injured on the road or sidewalk due to the negligence of another individual. This can be as the result of a driver speeding, failing to stop at a light or stop sign, failing to yield the right of way, driving under the influence, or many other causes. It can also be as the result of a pedestrian tripping and falling or being injured by a defect on the sidewalk or road.
A pedestrian accident claim can include a request for compensation for your injuries, including:
- Cost of medical expenses incurred as a result of the injury
- Lost wages

- Pain & Suffering
- Disability – inability and/or difficulty performing the tasks and actions you used to perform without problem before the injury
- Disfigurement – Any visible deformity, from cuts and bruises to loss of limbs, caused by the injury
- Loss of normal life – An injury will have an impact on your normal everyday life, and you are entitled to compensation for this
