As exposed and vulnerable road users, pedestrians deserve to be legally protected from any harm which might come to them as the result of someone else’s negligence. When pedestrians come into contact with moving vehicles, they can often come away with serious injuries, including damage to their limbs, spine and head.
If you have been hurt while crossing the road due to a negligent driver who has been unable to see you, or they have been distracted and injured you, then you may be entitled to compensation.
Dallas McMillan’s team of expert personal injury lawyers have years of experience in winning compensation for people like you. We strive to ensure that everyone receives compensation which accurately reflects the injury you have sustained, and how this has affected your life.

- Contact details of anyone who witnessed the accident
- Pictures of any injuries you sustained
- A medical report
