Pedestrian Accidents

When two tons of metal meets a person on foot, the injuries are catastrophic. So is our response.

Pedestrian fatalities in Texas have risen sharply, with hundreds killed every year in crashes at intersections, in parking lots, and along unsafe roadways. Distracted, impaired, and speeding drivers cause most of them — and they all have insurance we know how to pursue.

Drivers owe pedestrians a duty of care, especially in marked crosswalks and residential areas. When they fail that duty, the result is broken bones, brain injuries, or worse. We make sure the carrier pays accordingly.

After an Accident

The first five moves.

  1. Step 01

    Call 911

    Get emergency response and a police report on scene. Refuse to negotiate at the curb.

  2. Step 02

    Get Transported to the ER

    Internal injuries and concussions don't always show on scene. Always get checked.

  3. Step 03

    Capture Witnesses

    Pedestrian cases hinge on third-party accounts. Names and numbers, fast.

  4. Step 04

    Photograph the Scene & Vehicle

    Crosswalks, signals, sight lines, the driver's plate, and any damage.

  5. Step 05

    Do Not Talk to Their Insurer

    Adjusters love to suggest you 'darted out'. Don't give them ammunition. Call us.
