What Is a Pedestrian Injury Claim?

A pedestrian injury claim is a personal injury claim made when you are struck, knocked down, or harmed by a vehicle while walking, running, or crossing the road. These accidents often happen because a driver:

  • Failed to yield or stop
  • Was speeding
  • Was distracted (phone use, eating, adjusting controls)
  • Did not check blind spots
  • Made a dangerous turn
  • Drove under the influence
  • Ignored pedestrian crossings or amber/red lights

If the accident was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses.

How It Works

Start Your Claim in 3 Easy Steps

Starting a legal claim is an important decision, and we ensure you know exactly what to expect from the very beginning. Here’s how our process works in just three clear stages:
1

Contact Our Team

Contact us through our enquiry form, phone, or email. We’ll review your situation, answer your questions, and explain what to expect next. There’s no upfront fee to begin your claim.

2

Get Clear Legal Advice

Your case will be carefully reviewed by our legal team. We assess the strength of your claim, advise on the documentation needed, and guide you through key steps such as attending an independent medical examination and preparing the information required for the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB).

3

Start Your Claim with Full Support

Once you decide to move forward, we take care of everything. This includes gathering evidence, contacting the other party or their insurer, submitting your claim to the IRB, managing settlement discussions, and handling any court proceedings if needed.

The legal term ‘No Win No Fee’ is used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation.

Solicitors in Ireland who operate on this basis pay all legal costs associated with the personal injury case.

In the vast majority of cases, clients would not be in a position to fund the cost of litigation and therefore it is usual for a specialised Personal Injury/Medical and Dental Negligence law firm to operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

It should be noted that there is no prohibition on solicitors in Ireland undertaking work on a no win no fee basis, and solicitors are perfectly entitled to offer their services on a no win no fee basis.
