Pedestrian Accidents in Houston

Houston consistently ranks among the most dangerous cities in the United States for pedestrians. Wide roads, high speed limits, limited sidewalk infrastructure, and sprawling intersections make walking hazardous in many neighborhoods. Areas along Bissonnet Street, Long Point Road, Telephone Road, and the Westheimer corridor see a disproportionate number of pedestrian collisions each year.

Drivers who speed through crosswalks, run red lights, fail to yield at turns, or drive while distracted put pedestrians at severe risk. Unlike vehicle occupants, pedestrians have no protection in a collision. The injuries are often catastrophic, including traumatic brain injuries, shattered bones, spinal cord damage, and internal organ trauma. Our attorneys work with accident reconstruction experts and medical professionals to document the full impact on your life.

Common Questions About Houston Pedestrian Accidents

Can I file a claim if I was jaywalking when I was hit?

Yes. Texas comparative fault laws may reduce your compensation based on your share of responsibility, but a driver still has a duty to avoid hitting pedestrians regardless of where they are crossing.

What are the most common pedestrian accident injuries?

Broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal organ injuries, lacerations, and road rash are among the most frequent. Many pedestrian victims require multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation.

Who pays for my medical bills after a pedestrian accident?

The at fault driver’s insurance should cover your medical expenses. If they lack sufficient coverage, your own health insurance or underinsured motorist policy may apply. Our attorneys explore every available source of compensation.

What if the driver did not get a ticket?

A traffic citation is not required to file a personal injury claim. Civil liability has a lower burden of proof than criminal charges. Our attorneys build the case using evidence independent of any police citation.

How much is my pedestrian accident case worth?

Case value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and long term impacts. We evaluate every factor to provide an honest assessment of what your claim could recover.

Should I give a recorded statement to the driver's insurance?

No. Anything you say can be used to reduce your claim. Let our attorneys handle all communication with the insurance company to protect the value of your case.

Don’t Wait. Evidence Fades. Witnesses Forget.
