Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Crashes involving pedestrians claim the lives of more than 700 people each year in the state of Texas. Thousands more are left with severe injuries that force them into local hospitals for emergency medical care. Many pedestrians suffer traumatic head injuries, paralyzing spinal cord injuries, and compound fractures. These and other serious injuries require extensive medical care. Not only is medical treatment extremely costly, but it comes with no guarantee of a full recovery. As a result, we see many victims harmed in these accidents left with injuries that leave them permanently disabled.
In many cases, pedestrians are hurt in crashes that can be contributed to some form of negligence. We see thousands of crashes take place for the following reasons:
- Drivers are distracted by their phones while operating their vehicles
- Drivers are impaired by drugs or alcohol
- Motorists who speed, run red lights, or fail to yield the right of way
- Drivers engage in malicious actions while operating their vehicles
If you were harmed in a crash due to these or other acts of negligence, you must seek the guidance of a skilled pedestrian accident lawyer in San Antonio as soon as possible.
