Areas of Practice - Pedestrian Accidents

Walking in the Dallas–Fort Worth area presents significant risks. When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the injuries are often severe — traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, fractures, internal organ damage, lacerations, and psychological trauma.

Common causes include negligent and distracted drivers, speeding, failure to stop at signals, trucks cutting corners, impaired driving, poor road design, inadequate lighting, and obscured crosswalks. Potential defendants extend beyond individual drivers to include employers, government entities, vehicle manufacturers, and property owners responsible for unsafe road conditions.

Texas's modified comparative negligence system allows recovery even when a pedestrian bears partial fault, as long as the pedestrian is not more than 50% at fault — compensation is reduced by the pedestrian's percentage of fault. Our attorneys help clients pursue both economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, out-of-pocket costs) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium).

We assist clients with medical treatment through lien arrangements, helping uninsured clients access immediate care. Our team works with interpreters for non-English speakers, and we represent all clients regardless of immigration status — undocumented individuals retain full legal rights to pursue compensation in Texas civil courts.
