Austin Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Injured in a pedestrian accident?

Texas recently ranked in the top 10 states in pedestrian fatalities per 100,000 residents. This startling statistic is a clear indication that accidents involving pedestrians and motor vehicles are a serious problem. These accidents occur most often on crowded urban streets where pedestrians and motor vehicles are forced to share a tight space. Most pedestrian accidents occur during morning and afternoon rush hour, with fatalities more common between 5 pm and 11 pm .

Pedestrian accidents are caused in large part due to the negligent actions of a motor vehicle driver such as DUI, inability to see a pedestrian due to poorly-lit roads, careless or reckless driving due to distraction and others. Injuries sustained by the victim of an accident involving a motor vehicle may include broken bones, lost limbs, internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, paralysis and sadly, death in many cases. Anyone who suffers these injuries as a pedestrian in a motor vehicle accident should consult an Austin personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to determine whether there is a legitimate case.

Pedestrian Accidents and Claims

Injuries sustained by pedestrian accident victims can be light, but are most often severe due to the very nature of the accident, and the minimal protection the pedestrian has at their disposal. In cases of severe injury, recovery times can be long and difficult. When medical bills begin to accumulate and other costs associated with recovery pose a threat to a victim’s financial security, it may be time to seek compensation from the party at fault.
