Question 1

Can I claim if I was jaywalking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though your compensation may be reduced. Drivers still have a duty of care to pedestrians, even if the pedestrian wasn't at a crossing.

Question 2

What if I was hit on the pavement?

Accepted Answer

If a vehicle mounted the pavement and hit you, the driver is almost certainly fully liable. You should be entitled to full compensation.
