Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
More than 60 pedestrians lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents across our state every month. This averages out to around two people every single day. Pedestrians are far more vulnerable during collisions due to the fact that they are completely unprotected.
Regrettably, there are many instances where pedestrians are often harmed in accidents caused by negligence and reckless motorists. We see a significant number of accidents take place due to driver negligence. Many victims lose their lives in crashes caused by drivers who are speeding, running red lights, and engaging in reckless driving behaviors while operating their vehicles.
Families who lose loved ones in pedestrian accidents often face towering medical expenses, funeral costs, and other financial burdens. These and other financial burdens just make it more challenging to move forward. For this reason, it is crucial that you reach out to a wrongful death lawyer in El Paso as soon as possible.
