Zebra crossing accident claim

Blanca Diego Casas

Pedestrian hit by car on zebra crossing settles for £20,000

Blanca Diego, Solicitor in the Osbornes Personal Injury Department, recently settled a claim for a Spanish client who sustained injuries whilst walking to work. Our client was on a pedestrian crossing when a car, being driven on the wrong side of the road, suddenly crashed into her. The impact was completely unexpected. As a result, our client landed on the ground hitting the right hand side of her body and head.

Due to the accident, our client sustained post concussional syndrome, a laceration of the scalp, soft tissue injuries affecting the right leg, right hip, right lower back, chest, abdomen and neck as well as psychological trauma.

Our client was unable to work for two months due to the impact of her injuries. Even after returning, she could only manage reduced hours as she struggled with ongoing pain and fatigue. Everyday tasks that had once been second nature—carrying shopping, using public transport, or doing household chores—became much harder. She also lost a level of fitness, making it difficult to regain her strength. As a result, she often had to rely on family and friends for help with anything physically demanding, from lifting heavy items to managing more strenuous tasks at home and work.

The case settled for £20,000.
