Road Accidents Involving Pedestrians Shetland
Pedestrians are one of the most vulnerable road users. If you have suffered injury as a result of being knocked down as a pedestrian it is unlikely that you were fully at fault. You should not assume that because you were on the road it was your fault.
Unfortunately, as a pedestrian, it is likely that any injury will be serious. Physical injuries and mental distress can take months or even years to resolve. If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident as a pedestrian it is important to seek expert legal advice.
We will assist you in obtaining maximum compensation, not only for your injury but for loss of earnings, damaged clothing, jewellery or footwear.
We have assisted many pedestrians who were injured due to:
- drivers going too fast
- drink drivers and drivers under the influence of drugs
- drivers who ignored traffic lights
- hit and run and untraced drivers
If you are injured and more than one vehicle was involved in the incident it may not be immediately obvious who was at fault. You should take the details of all of the cars involved.
