Hello all, I was recently hit by a car whilst pushing my toddler in a pram. I had looked to see if any cars were coming and started to cross, i was almost on the pavement when i heard a car so sped up to get on the pavement but when i looked the car just hit into us. It knocked me to the ground but flipped my son in his pushchair 15ft sideways onto the opposite road into oncoming traffic. Thankfully apart from a very swollen and cut face he is fine and only stayed one night in hospital, i pulled some muscles from the pushchair being ripped away from me and some small cuts, we were very lucky! The police concluded it was an accident wrong place at the wrong time and something about sun reflecting from the wet floor so driver didnt see me, he wasnt speeding. I do not want to claim compensation for any injuries, we are all fine and it was an accident, we contacted the driver to let him know we were both okay as it must of been horrific for him also. However we are down on a £600 pram which is smashed to bits and without a doubt saved my sons life, his new christmas clothes that were cut from him in the ambulance, as well as missed wages for myself and husband. Is it wrong for me to claim these expenses from the driver? I dont want to make money from this horrible inccident but these are items we are now down on, or should i just forget and move on and accept the loss?
