What should I do if I have been victim to a pedestrian accident?
So firstly, note down all the details of the vehicle that has hit you.
What happens in the event of a hit-and-run?
If the car has taken off, you will still be able to claim compensation from the Insurance Compensation Consortium.
It’s important, as in any accident, that a medical professional assesses your injuries and that you receive immediate assistance following the accident. Compensation for pedestrian accidents covers both compensation for injuries and for medical expenses incurred.
An injury from a pedestrian accident may be minor, leading to compensation of thousands of euros, or more serious, with compensation of hundreds of thousands of euros.
How is compensation determined?
Using the same scale as cases of traffic accidents involving two vehicles.
