Pedestrian Hit at Crossing Lights

The Incident

We were instructed by Jane after she was struck by a motor vehicle while crossing at traffic lights. She sustained serious pelvic and leg injuries.

Serious Injury and Medical Treatment

Jane faced ongoing pain, repeated medical appointments and a lengthy recovery. Her reduced mobility affected her independence and ability to complete everyday activities.

The Long Road to Recovery

The accident affected almost every part of Jane’s life. Tasks she had once completed independently became difficult, and she lost confidence moving through public spaces and managing routine outings.

Why Specialist Legal Advice Was Required

Although the insurer accepted that the driver was at fault, detailed evidence was still required to establish the full extent of Jane’s injuries and their lasting effect on her independence, wellbeing and future.

Legal Support and Advocacy

Garling&Co gathered specialist medical material and detailed evidence about Jane’s daily limitations, treatment needs, reduced confidence and the practical assistance she required during recovery.

Securing a Life-Changing Outcome

Through careful preparation and firm negotiation, we secured $732,000 in compensation for Jane’s pain and suffering and to provide greater financial security as she continued her recovery.
