Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
There is a serious problem with pedestrian safety in Texas. According to data from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the state’s number of fatal pedestrian crashes has increased by almost 30 percent in the past five years alone. In 2022, one in five road deaths in the state involved a pedestrian, and there were 5,766 pedestrian collisions reported in Texas that year. These collisions resulted in 1,526 injuries and 830 fatalities. Being a pedestrian in Texas is far from easy, especially when other drivers do not watch out for those traveling on foot. To pursue a claim for compensation after a fatal crash claimed the life of a loved one, you must work with an experienced attorney to get the most out of your case.
It is not fair to make family members pay for the irresponsible driving of another person. Sadly, deadly crashes occur on Texas roads every single day. To strengthen your case and improve your chances of getting full compensation, you should consult with a knowledgeable lawyer who has helped families win wrongful death cases in the past. Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy, and it will become much more difficult if you are not awarded the compensation you are due. With the assistance of an experienced attorney, you have the legal right to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the person who caused the death of your loved one. Pursuing a case will be able to help you during this difficult time in order to at least make a financial recovery.
