Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Thousands of pedestrians are injured annually for the same reason that most other traffic-related accidents occur – negligence. Negligence can be in the form of intoxication, distractions, aggressiveness, and/or recklessness. It only takes a few moments of driving reckless for a serious vehicle accident or pedestrian accident to occur.
When that happens, those who sustained injuries should be able to file personal injury lawsuits against all negligent drivers for compensation.
