Fatal Pedestrian Collisions in Texas

Walking is a great way to get around, but Texas is far from a pedestrian-friendly state. Its cities are designed for motor vehicle drivers, and those on foot are often at a disadvantage on the road. Sadly, the number of pedestrian deaths in the state is on the rise. The Lone Star State experienced a nearly 30 percent increase in pedestrian deaths in the past five years. Nearly one in five roadway deaths in the state involved a pedestrian, and there were more than 5,766 pedestrian crashes reported across Texas in 2022. These types of crashes are much more likely to result in fatal injuries, and if you lose someone in a pedestrian accident, you must be ready to protect your legal rights with the help of a qualified wrongful death attorney. 

Dealing with the aftermath of a deadly crash is always difficult. In a matter of seconds, someone close to you can be taken away forever, leaving you with a massive hole in your life. It is made that much harder when you later discover that another person’s reckless actions contributed to the crash. The at-fault party should be held responsible for their actions. This is often only possible by pursuing a wrongful death claim with the help of a qualified lawyer.
