Pedestrian accident injuries often mean time off work, unplanned expenses and financial stress. But we’re here to help. We get to know you and your family to learn about your life before you were injured. We look beyond your injuries, to understand your work, family, social and financial situation. Then we look at what’s changed. Many of our clients’ injuries have led to other life complications and health issues. By getting to know you personally we identify these issues and claim all your entitlements. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with a Law Partners pedestrian injury lawyer on your side.
If you’ve sustained serious injuries from a pedestrian accident, classified as ‘above threshold’ injuries, it’s very likely you can claim a lump sum settlement, and these lump sums can be substantial.
Whether you were at a road crossing or not, if you’ve been hit by a motor vehicle you may be eligible for compensation.
If you were struck by a vehicle on a footpath, then you can claim compensation to cover your losses.
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.
A specialist lawyer will review your circumstances and tell you how much you can claim.

Pedestrian accident injuries are often classified as above threshold, which means your benefits could extend to 24 months and beyond, and you might be entitled to significant lump sums.
| Category | Entitlements |
|---|---|
| 1. Threshold injury |
|
| 2. Above threshold injury |
|
| 3. Above threshold injury over 10% permanent impairment |
|
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.
*Note: if you were at fault and your accident happened prior to 1 April 2023, your income support, medical, and home care expenses will be limited to six months.
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 threshold (minor) injuries, 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 above threshold 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 must make your pedestrian accident compensation claim within 28 days to be eligible for income loss from the date of the accident. The final claim lodgement date is three months from the accident, although this can be extended in certain circumstances.
According to SIRA (the State Insurance Regulatory Authority), in the 12 months to June 2023, there were 11,666 motor accident injury claims reported in NSW and $1.14 billion was paid out in benefits and lump sums. That’s $97,760 paid out for every new claim reported.*
The amount of pedestrian compensation you can claim depends on the extent of your injuries, which will be classified as ‘threshold’ or ‘above threshold’. The following table outlines the difference:
| Physical Injury Classification | Examples |
|---|---|
| Threshold (soft tissue injuries) |
|
| Above threshold (fractures, organ damage) |
|
It’s important to remember that compensation after a pedestrian accident also depends on the extent of your losses (such as lost income). Here’s a summary of pedestrian accident compensation entitlements:
| Category | Entitlements |
|---|---|
| Threshold injury |
|
| Above threshold injury |
|
| Above threshold injury over 10% permanent impairment |
|
