Walking is something most of us do without a second thought, whether we’re commuting, shopping, exercising, or simply getting some fresh air. But every time you step off the pavement, cross a road, or navigate busy streets, you’re vulnerable. All it takes is one moment of carelessness by a driver, cyclist, or even local authorities for your life to change.
If you’ve been injured as a pedestrian, whether by a car, van, bicycle, scooter, or due to a poorly maintained public space you need a legal team that understands the seriousness of what you’re facing. That’s where Harris Fowler Solicitors come in. With a sharp focus on personal injury law and a track record of securing justice for injured pedestrians, they’re the legal partner you want in your corner.
Here’s why Harris Fowler should be your first call after a pedestrian accident.
Expert Personal Injury Solicitors – They Know the Law Inside Out
Harris Fowler isn’t a general law firm dabbling in multiple areas. They specialise in personal injury law. That makes a huge difference. When it comes to pedestrian injury claims, the legal landscape can be surprisingly complex, especially if liability is disputed or if there are multiple parties involved (such as local councils or delivery companies).
With over two decades of experience in handling injury claims, Harris Fowler knows what to expect, how to build a strong case, and how to get results. Their solicitors understand how to navigate the highly specific legal and medical aspects of pedestrian accidents from soft tissue injuries and fractures to more severe brain or spinal trauma.
Their focus means they stay up to date on legislation, court rulings, and case precedents that impact people just like you.
“No Win, No Fee” Means No Financial Risk
One of the biggest worries people have after being injured is money. Time off work, and transport costs can add up fast. The last thing you want is to worry about legal fees on top of everything else.
That’s why Harris Fowler operates on a “No Win, No Fee” basis. You pay nothing upfront, and if your case isn’t successful, you don’t owe them a penny. It’s a fair, risk-free approach that allows anyone to pursue justice no matter their financial situation.
This model gives injured pedestrians peace of mind. You can focus on your recovery while they handle the legal battle.
A Deep Understanding of Pedestrian Injuries and Challenges
When a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle – even at low speed – the consequences can be severe. Unlike motorists, you have no protective barriers. The physical and emotional impact of such an accident is often underestimated, especially by insurance companies trying to settle for the lowest possible amount.
Harris Fowler understands the unique vulnerability of pedestrians. They take into account not just the immediate injuries, but also:
- Long-term physical recovery
- Psychological trauma (including anxiety, PTSD, and loss of confidence)
- Loss of earnings and future employment issues
- The cost of care, mobility aids, and home adaptations
- The impact on your personal and family life
They work with medical experts to fully understand the extent of your injuries and how they affect your life, now and in the future.
They’ll Fight the Insurance Companies for You
Insurance companies are businesses. Their job is to protect their bottom line, not to ensure you get everything you’re entitled to. That means they may try to blame you, deny responsibility, or offer you a low settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries.
Harris Fowler knows all the tactics insurers use and they won’t let you be taken advantage of.
Their legal team is skilled at negotiation and litigation, and they’re not afraid to take a case to court if necessary.
Whether your injury happened in a busy city crosswalk or a quiet village lane, they’ll fight to ensure the responsible party is held accountable and that you receive maximum compensation.
They Handle Complex and Disputed Cases
Not all pedestrian accidents are straightforward. Perhaps the driver didn’t stop. Maybe there were no witnesses. Maybe you were hit by a cyclist on the pavement, or you tripped over a poorly maintained pavement slab. In some cases, the local authority or a contractor may be responsible.
These cases often require in-depth investigation, evidence gathering, and expert opinions. Harris Fowler has the resources and determination to pursue even the most complicated claims. They’ll gather CCTV footage, medical reports, witness statements, and expert analysis to build the strongest possible case.
And if liability is shared, they’ll fight to make sure the blame is correctly apportioned so you’re not left carrying the financial burden.
Support Beyond the Courtroom
Being injured as a pedestrian doesn’t just hurt physically it affects every part of your life. Harris Fowler provides ongoing support, not just legal services. That might include:
- Helping arrange physiotherapy or mental health treatment
- Securing interim payments to cover urgent costs while your claim progresses
- Recommending specialist rehabilitation services
