Pedestrian Accidents

in Houston

Pedestrian accidents can be among the most severe types of personal injuries that you can suffer. Getting hit by a car -– even a car that was only traveling very slowly -– can lead to significant injuries because pedestrians are utterly without protection and cars are massive. Even the smallest vehicle on the roads today can weigh more than 2,500 pounds, while bigger ones like SUVs can be as heavy as 7,000. The force of all of this weight makes getting hit by one of these vehicles rarely a trivial affair.

Getting compensated for the injuries that you suffer in a pedestrian accident is crucial to ensure you make a full recovery and get back on your feet.

Pedestrian accidents should never happen. Car drivers should be paying attention all the time and should be aware when they do not have the right of way. They should also never hit a pedestrian who was on the sidewalk because that would mean the driver is off the road.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a pedestrian accident, you need legal help to get the compensation you need to make the full recovery you deserve. Filing a personal injury lawsuit is the best way to ensure this happens. In order to succeed in this lawsuit, you need to show four things:

1. The driver who hit you had an obligation to keep you safe or keep you free from harm,
2. The driver failed to uphold that obligation,
3. That failure caused the accident, and
4. The accident caused your injuries.

All Houston drivers have an obligation to drive in a reasonably safe manner. This means they could be held liable for your injuries if they cause a crash while doing things that are unreasonable while driving, like texting, speeding, or violating any of the state’s rules of the road. If they do cause the crash that hurts you, they can be forced to pay the costs of your recovery.
