Pedestrian crash testing to reduce the need for accident claims

We receive accident claims by the thousand from pedestrians that have been hit by a car. We have an excellent accident claim success rate and treat each case as a priority, fighting to get the most compensation available to our customers.

However, in an attempt to lower the numbers of pedestrians that have suffered a personal injury or fatality as a result of road accidents Euro NCAP are on the case.

Since 1997 they have carried out pedestrian evaluation tests to determine the most hazardous areas of each model. Methods included simulating car accidents involving adults and children at 25 mph. Also, dummy body parts containing measuring devices were hurled at specific areas of the car to establish the severity of the impact and personal injuries that would be suffered as a result.

2002 saw a change in the way pedestrian-impact test sites were selected and the way safety ratings were awarded. Newer, more realistic methods were adopted bringing greater hope for reducing the amount of car accident claims made by pedestrians.

At present there is no legislation in place that specifies minimum requirement for pedestrian safety but Euro NCAP suggests that up to 380 lives could be saved every year in the EU if all car models performed well in these tests.
