Pedestrian Accidents

People struck while crossing the street, walking on the sidewalk, or in parking lots.

The pedestrian always loses. Being struck by a vehicle — at a crosswalk, in a parking lot, or walking along the sidewalk — almost always causes serious injuries that change an entire family's life.

In Texas, drivers have a duty to yield and drive carefully around pedestrians. When they don't, we respond: we investigate the accident, identify the responsible party and their insurer, and fight for your medical expenses, your recovery, and your future.

Cases we handle

  • Crosswalk and intersection accidents
  • Accidents in store and shopping-center parking lots
  • School-zone accidents
  • Hit-and-run drivers
  • Distracted, drunk, or speeding drivers
  • Accidents involving children and the elderly

What to do if this happened to you

  1. 1

    Call 911 — you need a police report and medical attention.

  2. 2

    If you can, take photos and get the driver's and witnesses' information.

  3. 3

    Don't argue about fault at the scene.

  4. 4

    Keep your damaged clothing and belongings — they're evidence.

  5. 5

    Talk to an attorney before dealing with any insurance company.
