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.

Hi Paul. Thank you for your email and all your help over the past 2 years you’ve been fantastic and I would highly recommend you to anyone, I will of course let you no when I revive the funds and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Kind regards,

Thank you seems such a trivial word and yet without your tenacity, we would not be here today. For all the medical providers you sought out and your words of stability at each and every stage I cannot thank you enough. You will never know how much of a difference you have made, without your constant reassurance and steps of transition to medical assistance especially during Covid I know I would not be at this stage on my journey.

I was involved in a traffic accident as a pedestrian, being hit by a car. My family were recommended to George Ide regarding personal injury, and what a great choice this turned out to be. Words can’t express how thankful and grateful I am for the service and support that I received from everyone at George Ide. My case was handled by Paul Fretwell with the help of Karen Jenkins, and the genuine kindness, care, and professionalism that they provided throughout my claim from start to finish was second to none. The experience of Paul and his team really shone through, and this was obvious from the very start when I first met Paul for an initial chat at home. The thoroughness and dedication to getting me the best possible outcome was clear throughout. Paul fought to the nail making sure that no stone was unturned, this allowing me to feel less anxious and to be able to concentrate on getting physically and mentally better. For anyone that goes through a traumatic event, the support from the people around you is key, Paul and his team were no exception to this, and I felt that I had a true friend and ally on my side. George Ide and Paul should be the first port of call to someone in need of a personal injury solicitor, I can’t recommend them enough!

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 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.

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.
