Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Texas

Walking is a common method of transportation used by people of all ages. Not only is walking a healthy and free way to travel from place to place, but it is something that most people can do safely. Over the years, we have seen numerous representatives throughout or state enact laws, rules, and regulations to safeguard pedestrians traveling along our roads. Although we have seen proactive measures taken, we continue to see numerous people fatally injured in accidents.

In fact, motor vehicle accidents claim the lives of more than 600 pedestrians annually across Texas. In many cases, victims are injured in accidents as a result of reckless, negligent, and careless drivers. Far too many accidents in our state are a result of drivers who are texting while operating their vehicles, engaging in negligent behaviors, speeding, driving impaired, and engaging in various other actions without considering the safety of others sharing the road. When victims lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents, due to the reckless actions of others, it is imperative that their families reach out to a wrongful death attorney in Texas as soon as possible to protect their legal rights.
