Texas Deadly Pedestrian Accidents

When a pedestrian is on the road, they are extremely vulnerable. Unfortunately, Texas is a particularly dangerous place to travel on foot. Statistics show that the state has one of the highest pedestrian death rates in the country. There were 7,388 pedestrian deaths reported in the Lone Star State in 2021 alone. The rate of pedestrian deaths has increased by nearly 70 percent since 2010. An estimated one in five roadway fatalities in Texas involves a pedestrian, showing just how at risk these users can be sharing the road with a motor vehicle. You need to be sure that you are ready to take legal action if you lose someone close to you in an unexpected pedestrian accident.
