Pedestrian Accidents

San Antonio Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Texas certainly gets its share of auto-pedestrian accidents. But unlike many other places in the U.S., the Lone Star State does not always give the right-of-way to pedestrians. In other words, whenever a vehicle strikes a someone on foot, the driver isn’t automatically held liable for the accident.

Types of Pedestrian Accidents

Common types of accidents include:

• being struck in a crosswalk while crossing a street
• being hit while walking on the side of the road or a sidewalk
• parking lot collisions
• driveway accidents
• off-road vehicle collisions

Injuries can be Severe

Not surprisingly, San Antonio citizens who are hit by passenger vehicles quite often sustain serious injuries. They might suffer everything from bruises, lacerations, and fractures to internal bleeding, traumatic brain injuries, and organ damage. Paralysis, comas, and death are not uncommon in pedestrian accidents.

An Experienced Attorney can Help

Because of the laws in Texas, it can sometimes be challenging to prove that a driver was actually responsible for a pedestrian accident. In addition, if the pedestrian was a victim of a hit-and-run accident, identifying the person to blame also becomes difficult. In either case, the victims are likely struggling to recover from their injuries while medical bills mount and their quality of life suffers.
