Compensation for Pedestrian Injury in Cyprus

Even though walking is considered a most beneficial form of exercise, it is of no surprise that with so many cars and people on the roads, hundreds of pedestrian accidents occur every year.

If you have been injured as a result of such accident, you might be entitled to compensation for your injuries, for any medical expenses incurred, continuous treatment, as well as for the pain and suffering you have been subjected to.

We specialize in this area of personal injury law. We handle claims on behalf of pedestrians who have been hurt in a road accident with the sole purpose of safeguarding their rights and claim on their behalf the maximum attainable compensation.

In order to secure the best possible outcome for our clients and that our approach and service is personal and made to measure, we are in continuous communication with our clients so nothing is left to chance.

We settle for nothing less than the thorough and complete research on each case and the excellent presentation of each case before the Court, as well as maintaining utmost confidentiality throughout.

What makes us stand out is that we deal exclusively with personal injury cases and in order to secure the highest compensation possible we cooperate closely, from the outset, with our clients and with experts in any medical field involved, which experts may be independent or associates of Rotsides & Co, in order to enable our lawyers to achieve the most complete and best possible presentation of each case before the Court, and of course to secure full justice for our clients.

 

Pedestrian Accident Case Examples

We have helped people who have been through various types of pedestrian accidents involving cars, buses and lorries including:

  • Accidents caused by a driver who was speeding or failed to stop at a traffic light;
  • Accidents caused by drivers driving too fast on a neighbourhood street;
  • Accidents caused by a driver at a pedestrian crossing;
  • Accidents caused by drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
  • Accidents caused by uninsured or untraced drivers

 

How are Pedestrian Accidents Different

Even though, it is often mistakenly taken for granted that in accidents involving pedestrians the liability always lies with the driver of the vehicle, it is often the case that a Court will also find some liability in the pedestrian himself. Court precedents have at times held that at times pedestrians cross the street without exercising proper care and not at the pedestrian crossing. Hence it is important to first collect all appropriate evidence to prove the liability of the driver and that the pedestrian is not also liable for the accident.

 

Some things to keep in mind:

The elderly as well as children are especially vulnerable to pedestrian accidents;

It is more likely for a pedestrian accident to occur after dark;

Many such accidents occur in small neighbourhoods and urban areas;

 

Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Victims of pedestrian accidents may suffer severe physical injuries that often include:

  • Broken Bones
  • Lacerations and Abrasions
  • Bone Dislocation
  • Amputation
  • Neck and Spinal Injuries
  • Traumatic Head Injuries
