Pedestrian Risks & Dangers in Texas
Pedestrian accidents are among the most dangerous and deadly incidents in our neighborhoods and on our roads today. You can sustain severe or catastrophic consequences when struck by vehicles at any speed. Like motorcyclists and bicyclists, pedestrians lack the safety features that protect vehicle occupants, such as airbags, seatbelts, or metal frames. Without these features absorbing the impact, every pedestrian accident can be life-threatening.
Even when struck by vehicles moving at low speeds, pedestrians can suffer:
- Broken or fractured bones
- Lacerations and bruises
- Neck and spinal injuries
- Concussions and brain injuries
- Crushed limbs
- Internal injuries, including internal bleeding
- Psychological injuries such as PTSD
Common Causes of Texas Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents are most likely in urban intersections, residential neighborhoods, school zones, parks, parking lots and garages, and highly trafficked areas like shopping districts or downtown streets.
Common causes can include:
- Distracted driving (e.g., texting or use of electronics while driving)
- Failure to yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks
- Speeding in residential or high foot-traffic areas
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Poor visibility conditions, including nighttime driving without proper lighting
The Importance of Seeking Legal Help
Knowing the steps to take after being involved in a pedestrian accident is essential to ensuring proper compensation from insurance companies once medical bills and other accident-related expenses pile up.
Before you even start essential steps like contacting insurance companies, you need to call the police and document the accident and the extent of your injuries. If you are physically unable to do so, get others to help you if you can. Law enforcement presence will add authority to your accident and prove it occurred when filing a claim.
