Pedestrian Accidents in Texas

Texas has seen a dramatic increase in pedestrian fatalities in recent years. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) reports that in the previous five years alone, the state has seen an approximately 30 percent increase in the number of fatal pedestrian accidents. Pedestrians were involved in one out of every five traffic deaths in the state in 2022. That year, there were 5,766 pedestrian crashes on Texas roads, resulting in 1,526 pedestrian injuries and 830 pedestrian fatalities. In the event of an accident, pedestrians are not as well-protected, so the injuries they sustain could last the rest of their lives. There is too much on the line after a pedestrian crash, and you need to partner with a trained lawyer to pursue a full recovery. 

You have the same right to use the road as everyone else as a pedestrian. However, if you are injured on foot, it can take a long time to fully recover. You can quickly become overwhelmed due to mounting medical expenses and other damages, leaving you with the impression that things will never be the same. During this trying time, a personal injury claim can help provide some relief. A qualified lawyer can assist in analyzing the specifics of your case to ensure that your legal rights are upheld.
