A little girl thought to be two or three years old was involved in a traffic accident when she got out of her pushchair and was hit by a van in the road. The girl who was thought to have been with her mum was waiting at a pedestrian crossing in St Mary’s Street Lincoln this week just before the accident happened.

The injuries suffered by the little girl are said to be non life threatening. The lorry driver near the scene, who could see what was happening, was said to have sounded the horn and tried to stop traffic, but was unable to. It was a Ford Transit which hit the toddler as it emerged from the High Street.

The police and ambulance attended the scene and took the toddler to Lincoln County Hospital. This was around 3.20 on Tuesday.

In a lucky escape yesterday, there were no pedestrians injured by a falling payne of glass in a busy Sheffield city centre street. The glass fell from a height of four stories from a window frame and could have caused severe or fatal injuries to pedestrians on the street.

The glass measured two feet by three feet. The glass payne fell from a top floor window. The window frame was understood to be in a “poor condition”.

The building which is leased to Sheffield Council belongs to the developer Hammerson. The building is Palatine Chambers on Pinstone Street, near Peace Gardens.

A passerby had said “It was amazing no one was hurt, there were a lot of people around.

Following the accident, Sheffield Council day workers visited the site, and used a cherry picker, to check the other windows for public safety.

We do not know if the window just fell, through severe lack of maintenance and checking of its safety, or if it was an accident at work as someone was working or someone was just opening the window.

For any non fault accidents which cause injury, we can be contacted on 0845 10 88 333 or by clicking: Hit by Falling Object, to see if an injury compensation claim can be made.

Every year pedestrians suffer injuries, some fatal, as a result of being hit by a car, lorry or motorbike. Quite often this involves a vehicle mounting the kerb or pavement and injuring the pedestrian. If people have been injured in this way then pedestrian accident claims may be possible with the help of the Accident Advice Bureau.

Here at the Accident Advice Bureau, we have accepted and won numerous pedestrian accident claims. An example of one of these types of cases is as follows.

The pedestrian was walking up a hill on the pavement doing his paper round. It was approx 4.35pm. The boy heard a car coming from behind him, as he turned round to look the car mounted the kerb and hit the pedestrian before going on to hit the brick wall of a house.

The wall of the house was badly damaged; some people in a nearby house heard the crash and came out to look. They helped the boy up from the pavement. Police and ambulance services were called and the boy was checked over by a paramedic. Police took the details of the car’s driver.

The child pedestrian later went to see his doctor, who diagnosed severe bruising to his left ankle. He returned to his doctor approx two weeks later as he was still suffering and further diagnosed with soft tissue damage and ligament damage to his left ankle.

The boy who suffers from asperger, is now frightened to go outside as he is scarred another accident involving a car mounting a pavement may happen again.

All pedestrian accident claims are worked on a no win no fee basis, if the claim is won, 100% of the injury compensation is paid.

A pedestrian hit by a lorry when walking on the pavement made an injury compensation claim for the injuries suffered. The female pedestrian was walking on the pavement with a friend when a lorry wing mirror hit her in the back of the head making her fall to the ground. The lorry drove too closely to the pavement putting pedestrians in danger.

The pedestrian accident was witnessed by other pedestrians and the driver of the lorry stopped having realised what he had done. Details were taken of the lorry driver. The pedestrian went to hospital and was diagnosed with whiplash injuries to her neck and shoulders and also suffered a back injury. The injuries had a huge impact on her life and she felt a pedestrian claim for compensation would help her financially.

The pedestrian claim was handled by us on a no win no fee basis, upon winning the claim 100% of the compensation was paid to the claimant.

There are thousands of pedestrian crossings on our roads across England and Wales. Pedestrian crossings are there to help us cross the road more safely. Once you are on a pedestrian crossing, cars should stop to let you cross.

When the driver of a car sees someone next to a pedestrian crossing, waiting to cross the road, they should slow down and let you cross safely. As a pedestrian you should wait for a car to stop before you start to cross.

The most common causes of people making an injured on a pedestrian crossing claim are as a result of potholes on the crossing and cars not stopping before the crossing, whilst someone is on it.

Following an accident on a pedestrian crossing, if you are injured, the police should be called. The police will make a full report and should give you the accident/police reference number for the incident. The police report and reference number will be useful if you make an injured on a pedestrian crossing claim.

However you have been injured on a pedestrian crossing if the accident was not your fault a claim for injury compensation could be possible.

Here at the Accident Advice Bureau we and our personal injury claims solicitors have years of experience in such matters. All accepted claims are worked on a no win no fee, basis where as long as you fully cooperate you will not be asked for any money at any time.

You will receive 100% of an injury compensation awarded.
