You are more likely to be seriously injured if you are unlucky enough to be involved in an accident on the road as a pedestrian than in any other type of collision, purely due to the fact that you are less well protected by the lack of any vehicle around you. Having said that, there are many levels of injury typically suffered by pedestrians involved in an RTA. Fractures are quite typical of the type of injury and all have a debilitating effect on your personal and work life, as most involve long periods away from your normal employment. This can also be included in your claim for compensation as what is called Special Damages. This covers all loss of employment issues, typically loss of income as well as other financial penalties you may have suffered as a result of the injuries you suffered. You don’t usually insure yourself for walking down the street, as you would for driving your own car and this should not stand in the way of you having recompense for injuries caused by someone else when you aren’t to blame.
