Pedestrian at Road Crossing Looking at Phone

I’ve been hit by a car as a pedestrian. Can I make a pedestrian injury claim?

Compensation is available to pedestrians who’ve been injured by cars in NSW. Every road vehicle is required to have CTP insurance, and the CTP policy covers injuries to pedestrians involved in an accident with the vehicle. If you’ve had time off work because of your injuries, it’s important to lodge your claim as quickly as you can to be able to claim backdated lost income.

If you’ve been hit by a vehicle, we’re here to help. There’s no cost speak to a pedestrian accident lawyer and find out how much you can claim.

We’ll get you more compensation.

Pedestrian accident injuries can be serious, and often mean time off work, unplanned expenses and financial stress. But your situation is unique, and injuries from being hit by a car may have led to other health issues and complications. For example, a knee injury can cause a limp, leading to a back injury. We’ll take time to get to know you personally, to understand all your issues and their impact on your life. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with a Law Partners pedestrian injury lawyer on your side.

What pedestrian accidents can I claim for?

Crossing the road.

Whether you were at a road crossing or not, if you’ve been hit by a motor vehicle you may be eligible for compensation.

On a footpath.

If you were struck by a vehicle on a footpath, then you can claim compensation to cover your losses.

If you’ve sustained serious injuries from a pedestrian accident, classified as ‘non-minor’ injuries, it’s very likely you can claim a lump sum settlement, and these lump sums can be substantial.

Even if you were distracted when you were injured (e.g. using your phone) and you were partly at fault, you may still be eligible for compensation. No matter how you’ve been injured as a pedestrian, you can call Law Partners for free advice on your compensation entitlements.

What can I claim for a pedestrian accident injury?

Pedestrian accident injuries are often classified as non-minor, which means your benefits could extend to 24 months and beyond, and you might be entitled to significant lump sums.

Category	Entitlements
1. Minor injury	Income support, medical and home care expenses for up to 6 months.
2. Non-minor injury	Income support, medical and home care expenses that can extend beyond 24 months if there is a claim for damages. A lump sum for past and future lost income.
3. Non-minor injury over 10% permanent impairment	An additional lump sum for pain and suffering.

It’s vital that your injuries and their impact on your life are thoroughly assessed, and that’s where the right pedestrian accident lawyer makes a big difference. We win over 99% of our cases and pride ourselves in winning more compensation.

How we can help you.

Here are three ways our pedestrian injury lawyers can get more compensation for you:

Give you free advice before you submit your claim. It’s critical that your application is filled out correctly, and that your injuries are properly assessed by your GP on your certificate of fitness.

Help you if you disagree with the assessment on the insurer’s liability notice. If the insurer has classified your injuries as minor, but you disagree with the decision, we can review it for you and provide free legal advice on your options.

Help you claim a lump sum settlement. If your injuries are non-minor and you weren’t at fault in the accident, it’s very likely you can claim a lump sum settlement, and these lump sums can be substantial.

You’re in safe hands with Law Partners.

Your pedestrian accident lawyer is backed by a team of specialists including paralegals, medico-legal experts, forensic accountants and barristers. So you’re in safe hands with Australia’s largest specialist personal injury firm.
