Houston, Texas Pedestrian Accident Attorney
As many people know, pedestrians almost always have the right of way on our roadways and streets. Many times the unfortunate victim of a traffic accident turns out to be an innocent pedestrian standing on a corner, a person walking across a cross walk, a person walking to a car in a parking lot, a person waiting for a bus, or a child playing outside.
Motorists are a major cause of pedestrian accidents and must drive with greater care, especially through areas with high pedestrian traffic Š urban areas, parking lots and garages, school zones, and near school and commercial bus stops. Many vehicle-pedestrian accidents are the result of a negligent driver that either disregarded the speed limit or a traffic signal, was distracted on a cell phone, or was driving while intoxicated. These drivers do not see the pedestrian until it is too late and an accident is imminent. |
The injuries in a pedestrian accident involving a motor vehicle are almost always serious or even catastrophic. For that reason, drivers have a responsibility to be especially watchful when pedestrians are present. These injuries may include death, fractured limbs, amputations, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, soft tissue injuries, bruising, scarring, abrasions, and internal bleeding.
