In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in pedestrian fatalities in Texas. The number of fatal pedestrian accidents in the state has increased by almost 30 percent in just the last five years, according to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). In 2022, one out of every five road deaths in the state involved a pedestrian. In all, 5,766 pedestrian crashes on Texas roads that year resulted in 830 pedestrian fatalities and 1,526 pedestrian injuries. Pedestrians have little protection in the event of a crash, meaning that resulting injuries can be life-changing. Victims of a pedestrian accident should contact a qualified attorney in order to pursue full and fair compensation to cover their injuries and other damages.
As a pedestrian, you have the same right to use the road as anyone else. It can be hard to recover from the resulting injuries and other damages. Medical bills and other expenses can quickly pile up and leave you feeling that your life will never be the same. A personal injury claim can offer some relief during this difficult time while also working to ensure that the at-fault party is brought to justice. A trained attorney can help examine the circumstances of your case to make sure your legal rights are protected.
