You should be familiar with the pedestrian accident claim process, because what you do after a road accident can impact the legal outcome of a personal injury claim. Here are the recommended actions for injured pedestrians:
When a motor vehicle accident (like a hit-and-run accident) results in a fatal injury, close family members of the deceased can claim legal damages, including funeral costs and death benefits.
Close family members who suffer a psychological reaction may also be eligible to make a nervous shock claim.

Splatt’s pedestrian accident lawyers provide legal insights from ten locations Queensland-wide.
You can lodge a pedestrian accident claim without advice from a car accident lawyer. In that case, you lodge directly with the CTP insurer of the at-fault party.
However, large insurance companies have teams of staff (including lawyers) whose job is to minimise or deny insurance payouts.
Qualified pedestrian accident compensation lawyers regularly negotiate with all the leading insurers and can explain the tactics they use to minimise settlement values.
The time taken to settle a pedestrian accident claim depends on several factors, including:
Straightforward cases can be resolved in 6 months, while catastrophic injury claims can take several years.
Our compensation lawyers can provide a settlement estimate during a free case assessment.
Our QLD personal injury lawyers work on a 100% no-win, no-fee basis. This funding means you owe nothing until you receive lump sum compensation for a pedestrian accident.
Our No Pay policy means you have no financial risk for your case. If you lose, you owe nothing.
If you are a pedestrian injured in a hit-and-run accident, for example, on a pedestrian crossing, your claim will likely be against the nominal defendant.
Generally, a pedestrian hit by an unidentified car or motor vehicle is covered by the QLD CTP insurance scheme and, hence, can lodge a pedestrian accident compensation claim with the statutory body.
This type of compensation claim has a short lodgement time frame. Our personal injury lawyers can explain the time limit for your case during a free case review.
