No win no fee pedestrian accident claims

Most people don’t want, or can’t afford, to pay directly themselves. That’s why at Askews, we can usually act for you on a No Win No Fee basis.

The option of legal expenses insurance to cover a pedestrian accident claim in Teesside

We would also advise that you check whether you (or your spouse or member of your family living at the same address) have Legal Expenses Insurance included with a Motor or Household Insurance Policy. If you/they have, then we can use this insurance cover to deal with your claim at no financial cost to you.

Remember, as the policy-holder you have the right to choose your own solicitor, not your insurance provider. We are happy to speak directly to your insurance company to sort this out for you.

Alternative funding of a pedestrian accident claim

We can also advise on other funding options that you may have available to you.

We can offer advice even if you were involved in a hit-and-run or if the other road user was not insured. This can be achieved by claiming from the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. Visit Untraced Driver Claims to learn more.

The limitation period (time limit) on pedestrian accident claims in North East England

You have three years to initiate legal action for a personal injury claim. This time limit typically starts from the date of your accident, but it can begin later if your injuries were not immediately apparent or if you were incapacitated for a period.

If you were injured as a child, the three-year time limit starts on your 18th birthday.
