Pedestrian accident attorney
for people hurt on foot.

When a vehicle hits a person, there's no contest. Pedestrians have no protection, so the injuries are almost always serious. If a careless driver hit you or someone you love in a crosswalk, a parking lot, or on the street, we're here to make sure your rights aren't ignored.

Overview

What you're dealing with.

Pedestrian accidents are among the most devastating on the road, because a person on foot has nothing to absorb the impact. Even a low-speed collision can cause fractures, head injuries, or worse. Drivers have a clear duty to watch for and yield to pedestrians — and when they fail, the consequences fall entirely on the person they hit.

Drivers and their insurers often try to shift blame onto the pedestrian — claiming you crossed wrong or appeared suddenly. We investigate what actually happened, using video, witnesses, and the physical evidence, so the driver's responsibility isn't quietly erased.

  • Crosswalk collisions
  • Intersection accidents
  • Parking lot incidents
  • Hit-and-run crashes
  • Backing-up accidents
  • Distracted-driver collisions
  • Failure-to-yield crashes
  • School zone accidents
  • Bus & transit-related
  • Fatal pedestrian accidents
After the accident

What to do next.

If you're reading this from a hospital bed, your phone, or somewhere worse — you're already doing the most important thing: looking for help. Here's the rest.

1

Get medical care immediately

Pedestrian injuries are often serious and can include internal or head trauma that isn't obvious at first. Get evaluated thoroughly.

2

Document the scene if you can

If you're able, or a companion is, photograph the location, the vehicle, and any signals or crosswalks. Note witnesses.

3

Don't accept fault

Drivers often insist the pedestrian was at fault. Stay factual, and let us handle the insurance company's questions.

How we help

Why it matters who represents you.

We prove the driver's fault

When a driver claims you "came out of nowhere," we go to the video, the witnesses, and the scene to establish what really happened.

We push back on victim-blaming

Insurers try to pin blame on pedestrians to cut what they pay. We anticipate that and build the case to keep responsibility where it belongs.

We account for serious injuries

Pedestrian injuries can mean long hospital stays and lasting harm. We make sure the claim reflects the full medical, financial, and personal cost.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

The driver says I was jaywalking. Do I still have a case?

Possibly, yes. Even if you were crossing outside a crosswalk, Texas's comparative fault rule means you can still recover as long as you were 50% or less at fault — and drivers still have a duty to avoid hitting pedestrians. We investigate to establish the driver's share of the responsibility.

What if it was a hit-and-run?

Don't lose hope. We work to identify the driver through video, witnesses, and investigation. And even if the driver is never found, your own auto policy may include uninsured motorist coverage that applies to pedestrian accidents. We'll review your options.

How long do I have to file?

Most Texas pedestrian accident claims must be filed within two years of the incident. Because evidence like traffic-camera footage can be erased quickly, acting fast is important. (Attorney to verify your specific deadline.)

My family member was killed by a driver. What can we do?

We are so sorry. When a pedestrian is killed, the family may be able to bring a wrongful death claim. We handle these cases with care and will explain your family's rights gently and clearly, at your pace.

What does it cost to hire you?

Nothing upfront. We work no win, no fee — you only pay if we win, from the recovery. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.
