Mr Trainer was crossing the road at a pelican crossing in Gtr Manchester when a careless driver came along and knocked him down. Our client already had learning difficulties, but these were made much worse as a result of the head injuries he suffered in the accident. We took on the case, proved that the driver was to blame, gathered all the specialist evidence and helped our client to get over £1.4 Million in compensation.
Even if you think you were partly to blame you may be entitled to claim (maybe you'd had a drink, or maybe you weren't looking properly). Just give us a call and we'll quickly tell you what we think.
The motorists duty to a pedestrian
For as long as there have been vehicles on the roads there have been accidents in which pedestrians have been injured. Way back in 1832 (Boss -v- Litton) the court decided that "....all persons, paralytic as well as others, have a right to walk on the road and are entitled to the exercise of reasonable care on the part of persons driving carriages upon it!"
The courts always bear in mind the fact that pedestrians travel slowly and pose very little risk to anyone, whereas vehicles travel very fast and pose a very serious risk to pedestrians.
We have acted for many injured pedestrians over the years and recoverd millions of pounds in compensation.

Our recent cases
Miss Walters was walking on the pavement in Greater Manchester when some girders fell from the back of a lorry which was being loaded as she walked by. She suffered a nasty injury to her ankle and foot and we helped her to recover compensation of over £26,000.00.
Miss Sandiland was a young girl from Lancashire who went out of school at lunchtime to go to the shop with some friends. As she was standing on an island in the middle of the road another student (aged 15) came along driving his father's car - he had taken the car to show off to friends but lost control of the vehicle and drove into our client and her friend. Our client suffered a very serious injury to her foot. We took on the claim against the insurance company for the father of the offending young lad, and helped our client get over £100,000.00 in compensation.
Drunken Pedestrians who got compensation
Mr Wilkins from Derbyshire suffered a serious head injury when he was hit by a car as he attempted to cross the road on the way home from a New Year's party in the early hours of the morning. It was clear that our client had been drinking quite heavily, and he was not taking enough care for his safety as he crossed. But we investigated the case and proved that the car driver could have done more to avoid the collision. We helped our client get over £500,000.00 in compensation.
Mr Candlewick was an engineer who was working away from home on a job in Kent. He decided to go to the pub for his tea and had 4 pints to drink whilst he was there. On the way back to his digs he misjudged an approaching taxi as he crossed the road, and he was knocked down and injured. Our client had clearly misjudged the speed of the approaching vehicle because he had been drinking, but we were able to prove that the taxi was driving too fast and not paying enough attention. We helped our client recover £12,500.00 in compensation.
Miss Waddington was a lady with alcohol abuse problems. One evening, whilst drunk she lay down in the road and then suffered serious injuries when a van drove into her.Even though it was a stupid thing to do, there was some evidence that the van driver ought to have seen her and avoided a collision. We helped her to get £30,000.00 in compensation.
Mr Herdington was a young student who was badly injured when he was knocked down in Central London during a night out with friends. The car driver then drove off and couldn't be traced. Our client had been drinking before the accident and wasn't taking as much care as he should have, but we found lots of evidence that the car driver was driving recklessly before the accident. Because the other driver left the scene we had to pursue the claim via the Motor Insurers Bureau, and we helped our client to get over £90,000.00 in compensation.
(The names of our clients have been changed).
