At George Ide LLP, our expert pedestrian accident solicitors understand the devastating impact that road traffic accidents can have on pedestrians. As one of the most vulnerable and unprotected road users, pedestrians often suffer serious injuries when involved in collisions with vehicles.
If you’ve been injured as a pedestrian due to someone else’s negligence, our experienced solicitors are here to help you claim the pedestrian injury compensation you deserve.
What is a Pedestrian Injury Claim?
A pedestrian accident claim is a legal process where an injured pedestrian seeks compensation for injuries and/or financial losses sustained in a road traffic accident which wasn’t their fault.
Our pedestrian accident compensation solicitors can help you claim for various damages, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses
- Loss of earnings
- Rehabilitation costs
- Travel expenses
- Care and assistance

Common Pedestrian Injuries in Accident Claims
Pedestrian accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor to severe and catastrophic. Some common injuries we see in pedestrian accident claims include (but are not limited to):
- Head and brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures and broken bones
- Soft tissue injuries
- Psychological trauma
- Amputations
If you’ve suffered any of these injuries or others not listed, consider making a pedestrian claim for compensation from our personal injury solicitors.
Can I Make a Claim for a Hit and Run Accident?
Yes, you may still be able to pursue a pedestrian accident compensation claim even if the driver fled the scene or was uninsured. Our pedestrian injury solicitors can help you claim compensation through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) in these cases. We have extensive experience in handling such claims and will guide you through the process.
How Long Does a Pedestrian Accident Claim Take?
The duration of a pedestrian accident claim can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the severity of your injuries. Simple cases may be resolved in a few months, while more complex claims can take longer. We will work efficiently to progress your claim as quickly as possible while ensuring you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What if I Need Medical Treatment or Can’t Work After My Accident?
If you require ongoing medical treatment or are unable to work due to your injuries, our pedestrian accident solicitors can help you secure interim payments where appropriate. These payments can cover immediate medical expenses and loss of earnings while your claim is ongoing. We’ll also ensure that any future medical needs or loss of earning capacity are factored into your final compensation amount.

I take this opportunity to thank you for the support, professionalism, and wonderful advice you gave us throughout this difficult time. It was a very stressful period for us as it was our first experience with the court. Without all your help and legal advice, I would undoubtedly have been in a much more precarious situation. Thank you so much for your support and hard work. On behalf of me and my wife I would like to say a big thank you for taking up my case and representing us as our legal counsel. When we thought it was too much to handle, you were there for us to give us strength and hope. We always found you to be very friendly when we needed any legal advice. Once again, I thank you so much for your understanding, for your patience, your dedication to my case and most of all, thank you for being friendlier, making us more comfortable with your advice and guidance than just a mere professional lawyer during that difficult moment. This means a lot to us, and we will be forever grateful to you.

Dear Paul. Thank you so much for negotiating a satisfactory sum (exactly as you had predicted) and I am very grateful to have had the benefit of your excellent service throughout this ordeal. Horrid though it was, your expertise and guidance were of immense help. We can now happily put this whole thing behind us and finally move on. With very warm thanks and best wishes.

Thank you for looking after me and my case. Not just a solicitor, you were a supporter and friend from the off. I felt that you ‘got’ me and understood where I was coming from. The very unexpected payout takes a lot of worries away, thank you.

George Ide looked after my claim from accident to the case conclusion, they took care of everything on route which concluded in a very substantial out of court settlement. The settlement enabled the family not to worry about future employment problems, and gives everyone piece of mind.
George Ide are a very professional company, and I would always recommend them to other people in the same situation.

“There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to you, and all the other members of the team who supported you, for what you have achieved for [my daughter]. You should all be so proud of what you have done and Thank You from the bottom of my heart.”

I suffered a complex ankle injury in a road traffic accident in 2015, Paul Fretwell and the team at George Ide stepped in to manage my claim and helped me through a very challenging period in my life. The team’s experience with this type of injury, their considered approach and meticulous attention to detail enabled them to flag up any potential issues early on, and ensured there were no surprises along the way. Paul was able to see beyond the conventional claim headings, and took the time to understand the full impact of the injury, on my life and hobbies, and was keen to ensure they were all suitably reflected within the claim. Three years on, we went into a Joint Settlement Meeting with a robust and well prepared case, allowing us to secure a claim that significantly exceeded our expectations. I would not have a moment’s hesitation in recommending him to anyone in a similar situation.

Jasmine has told me that she has now settled and that she can move on with her life.
I would just like to write a brief note of genuine heartfelt thanks from all of us involved. Your company was recommended by a good family friend who works in the BH1 postcode area, at a time when most of us were either in shock or at a loss about how to proceed.
From our very first communication, and the day of your visit to Jasmine’s Mum’s house, you have been thoroughly professional whilst being incredibly caring. You personally, no doubt with the assistance of your team, have allowed Jasmine the opportunity to recover at her own speed, with the assistance of the full spectrum of the medical world, to a point where I honestly believe that she is in a better state mentally and confidence-wise than she was even before the accident.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your Company to anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in a similar situation.
It is common for people who are expert in their field to state that “I was only doing my job” – well, in this case, I am very glad that it was you who handled Jasmine’s case.
With many Kind Regards

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you for all you have done for us regarding our daughter’s burn.
