Common causes of serious pedestrian accidents in Texas
Pedestrian accidents most often happen because a driver failed to do their job:
- Distracted driving: eating, texting, checking the GPS, or talking on the phone.
- Speeding: excessive speed cuts a driver's reaction time exactly when it matters most.
- Failure to yield: ignoring the right of way at crosswalks and intersections.
- Driving under the influence: impaired drivers have reduced coordination, reaction time, and judgment.
- Poor visibility: low lighting, bad weather, and obstructed views make it harder for drivers to see people on foot, and demand extra caution they do not always give.
When a negligent driver causes you harm, our attorneys are here to hold them accountable.
Common injuries in serious pedestrian accidents
A pedestrian has nothing between their body and the vehicle. The injuries reflect that:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): head impacts that affect cognitive and motor function.
- Spinal cord injuries: damage that can cause partial or complete paralysis.
- Broken bones: fractures of the legs, arms, ribs, or pelvis.
- Internal injuries: organ damage with life-threatening complications.
- Lacerations and soft tissue damage: cuts, bruising, and muscle injuries.
Skilled legal representation helps you obtain the compensation needed for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost income, the full cost of what the driver did, not the fraction the adjuster opens with.
