In Texas and across the nation, there are severe concerns about pedestrian safety. In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in pedestrian fatalities. With 7,388 recorded pedestrian fatalities in 2021, the Lone Star State has one of the highest rates of pedestrian fatalities in the country. The state's pedestrian death rate has increased by about 70 percent. In the case of an accident, pedestrians are significantly less likely to make it out alive, and statistics show that they are involved in nearly one-fifth of traffic fatalities on Texas roadways. If you would like to pursue a wrongful death claim following a fatal accident, you should be prepared to submit a case with the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney.
Almost every day in Texas, a pedestrian accident results in the death of a loved one for someone on the state's roadways.
