Texas Wrongful Death Attorney
Many pedestrian accidents occur in crosswalks where pedestrians are supposed to have the right of way, thus resulting in a wrongful death. Often, where there is a crosswalk that goes across multiple lanes of traffic, the drivers in the left lane do not pay enough attention to slow down when they are supposed to.
Crosswalk accidents are almost always the fault of the driver who hit the pedestrian, and our attorneys are experienced at holding negligent drivers accountable for these accidents.
But even if you were jaywalking when you were hit by a car, you may still have a personal injury claim and should call a lawyer to discuss the facts of your case. Just because you were crossing at the wrong place doesn't mean you deserved to get hit and seriously injured.
The same applies to children who may run out into the street while playing. Because young children are unpredictable, drivers need to slow down any time they see them in the vicinity.
