Protecting Pedestrians After Serious Accidents
Pedestrian accidents are among the most devastating types of motor vehicle crashes. When a person on foot is struck by a vehicle, the injuries are often severe and life-changing. Medical treatment, lost income, emotional trauma, and uncertainty about the future can quickly become overwhelming.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, you have the right to seek compensation for the harm you have suffered.

The purpose of a pedestrian accident claim is to help restore the injured person to the financial position they were in before the accident occurred. Because insurance companies often try to minimize claims or shift blame, having knowledgeable legal representation is critical.
Compensation in a pedestrian accident case may include:
Every case is unique, and the value of a claim depends on the severity of injuries and long-term impact on the victim’s life.
Texas follows a fault-based insurance system, meaning the person responsible for causing the accident is legally responsible for the resulting damages. Depending on the circumstances, recovery may involve:
Texas also applies a modified comparative fault rule. An injured pedestrian may still recover compensation if they are partially at fault, as long as their share of fault does not exceed 50%. Any recovery is reduced by the percentage of fault assigned.
Under Texas law, pedestrian accident victims generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit for personal injuries or property damage. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your right to compensation, making it important to act promptly.
Texas drivers are required to carry minimum liability insurance, commonly known as the 30/60/25 rule, which includes:
These minimum limits are often insufficient to fully compensate a seriously injured pedestrian, which is why careful legal evaluation is essential.
