Why pedestrian claims are strong

You didn't have a seatbelt, a frame, or a chance

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. Drivers carry a higher duty of care around them. That's baked into NSW law — and into how courts and the Personal Injury Commission interpret claims.

In almost every pedestrian-vs-vehicle collision, the driver is at least partly at fault. The only situations where a pedestrian is effectively 'at fault' are edge cases — walking onto a freeway, deliberately darting in front of a stopped vehicle. Even then, you're still entitled to statutory benefits for the first 52 weeks, regardless of fault.

You were on foot. You were hit. That's a claim we can pursue.

What you're entitled to

The pedestrian's claim

Hospital first, then the CTP claim, income support, damages — all coordinated behind the scenes.

01

Statutory benefits

Up to 52 weeks of income support and medical, longer for non-threshold claimants. Physio, orthopaedic review, psychology, OT — booked and paid through CTP.

02

Non-threshold damages

Pedestrian injuries are often non-threshold, sometimes catastrophic. We build the damages claim with proper expert evidence — medical, economic, care — so the number isn't guessed.

03

Hospital coordination

If you're still in hospital when we're called, we coordinate with the ward, the social worker, and the admitting doctor. Discharge planning starts early. Families often make the first call.

Family and carers

Families call us too — that's fine

Serious pedestrian crashes often land the injured person in ICU or on a ward for days. The first call to us is usually made by a partner, parent, adult child, or close friend — with the injured person's consent or as a reasonable step on their behalf.

We talk to family plainly. We explain what CTP covers, what the 28-day window means, and what we're doing while you sit at the bedside.

For the worst outcomes — permanent disability, catastrophic injury — we pursue the lifetime-care piece and the serious damages claim with the seriousness it needs.

FAQ

Pedestrian-specific questions

Being on a pedestrian crossing, in a school zone, or on a footpath generally makes your claim stronger — the driver almost always carries fault in those situations. But being off a crossing doesn't block your claim. Pedestrians can be injured mid-block, in car parks, on driveways, at intersections without crossings — and CTP covers every one of those.
