Pedestrian accident claims fall under personal injury law, this means you have three years from the date of the accident to begin the compensation claim. If the accident happened to you when you were a child, you have three years from the date of your 18th birthday to start your pedestrian accident claim. If your accident happened abroad then the time limit could be much shorter, so we recommend that you contact a solicitor specializing in the law relevant to that country, as soon as possible. If it involved a UK registered vehicle, we can help.
