In March 2022, Loraine’s life changed in a moment. While walking across a pedestrian crossing, she was struck by a moped. What should have been a safe, routine journey left her with a broken leg, fractured rib, a black eye causing regular nosebleeds, and severe bruising.

Loraine spent over two weeks in hospital and a further two weeks confined to a hospital bed at home. She was unable to manage everyday tasks like showering or climbing the stairs, relying entirely on her family for care. The accident didn’t just cause immediate injuries, it led to long-term issues, including osteoarthritis in her right knee and strain on her hands from having to crawl upstairs.

Unsure of her rights, Loraine’s son searched online and came across Express Solicitors. After a reassuring conversation with our team, Loraine decided to make a personal injury claim. She described the claims process as easy and supportive, with our team clearly explaining every step.

“They were lovely to me on the phone,” Loraine said. “They put me at ease and helped with everything I didn’t understand.”

Pedestrian accidents can leave lasting damage, physically, emotionally and financially. Compensation can help cover lost income, medical costs and essential home adjustments. Loraine’s claim gave her some peace of mind, easing financial worries as she continues to recover.
