Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Pedestrian accidents are among the most dangerous traffic incidents in Texas. Major roads like Dallas Parkway see heavy traffic throughout the day, and one distracted or reckless driver can cause serious harm in seconds. These collisions often leave victims with long-lasting physical and emotional damage.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Crashes include:
- Distracted Driving: Motorists using phones or navigation devices often fail to see people crossing the road.
- Speeding: High speeds make it difficult to stop in time when a pedestrian enters the roadway.
- Failure to Yield: Drivers who ignore traffic lights or crosswalks put pedestrians in immediate danger.
- Low Visibility: Poor lighting or bad weather makes it harder for drivers to notice pedestrians.
- Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug use often leads to fatal mistakes and slower reaction times.
Victims of pedestrian accidents frequently suffer serious injuries such as broken bones, internal bleeding, and traumatic brain injuries. Many require surgeries, rehabilitation, and months of recovery. Mounting medical costs and lost income often place an enormous strain on families during recovery.
If you or a loved one was struck by a vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Before speaking with an insurance adjuster, contact a knowledgeable pedestrian accident lawyer who can protect your rights and secure fair compensation.
