Guide to pedestrian accident claims in Belfast

Pedestrian accidents are unfortunately quite common in Belfast. Every day, people are injured through no fault of their own and need advice about their options. 

In order to help answer some common question, we put together a hand guide to pedestrian accident claims that we hope you find useful. 

How does the average pedestrian claim work? 

A typical pedestrian claim goes through the following process: 

  • If you were involved in a pedestrian accident in the past 3 years, you can contact our team to receive the legal advice you deserve. 
  • Our team will gather evidence and make sure that you are medically examined. 
  • Once all relevant information is collected, we provide you an idea of how long the process will take and how much compensation you could receive. 
  • Usually, we then enter into negotiations with an insurer to reach a settlement
  • After this, you receive compensation for your injuries. 

If you were involved in a pedestrian accident and have questions about the process, please reach out to our solicitors or complete our form. We can also speak to you in our offices in Belfast, Glengormley, and Carrickfergus. 

How much compensation could you receive for a pedestrian accident in Belfast? 

The compensation you receive is closely tied to the complexity of your injury. For example, if you sustained a serious pedestrian injury that requires years of treatment, it will likely be worth more than an injury that you recover from in a few weeks. 

Our website features a compensation calculator that provides some useful information. However, we would advise speaking with our solicitor directly in order to give you a more accurate idea of how much compensation you could receive. 

What can you do after a pedestrian accident in Belfast?

If you were involved in a pedestrian accident, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. All accidents should be taken seriously, as it may take days for symptoms to appear.   

If you were involved in a pedestrian accident that wasn’t your fault, speak with our solicitors. We are here to listen and offer you the advice you deserve. Reach out to our solicitors today by completing our contact form or calling us on 0800 020 9311.
