Understanding Pedestrian Accident Statistics in Texas

Across the country, thousands of pedestrians are hurt or killed each year due to negligent drivers. Unfortunately, Texas has some of the highest pedestrian accident statistics in the nation. Pedestrian accidents can cause serious physical and emotional injuries that take a toll on victims and their families.

The following are just some of the key statistics related to pedestrian accidents in Texas:

  • In Texas, nearly 3,000 pedestrians are killed or injured annually due to traffic collisions.
  • On average, over 500 pedestrians are killed in the state each year.
  • Pedestrian fatalities account for 14% of all road deaths in the state.
  • Between 2008 and 2018, pedestrian fatalities increased by 47%.

Common Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents

Due to a lack of protective gear like airbags, seat belts, and bumpers, pedestrians are highly vulnerable on the road. Pedestrians involved in car accidents often endure life-changing injuries that can affect their capacity to work and support their families.

Some of the most common pedestrian accident injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Internal organ damage
  • Lacerations and other soft tissue injuries

To prevent such serious consequences from occurring, pedestrians must be extra cautious when approaching crosswalks and obey all traffic lights. Even so, you cannot predict the behavior of drivers around you and some accidents are unavoidable. For these reasons, it's crucial to get in touch with an experienced attorney who understands how to handle such cases.

How an Austin Pedestrian Accidents Attorney Can Assist You

When a pedestrian is hit or injured in an accident, they may be eligible to make a personal injury claim. Depending on the severity of their injuries and other factors, claimants can seek compensation for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, property damage, and more.

An experienced attorney can pursue numerous damages on behalf of their clients. This includes:

  • Current and future medical expenses related to the incident

  • "He’s amazing, choose him."
    Will was the BEST choice that I could’ve made after my DWI. I was so scared, it was my first arrest and I felt extremely overwhelmed when it came to finding a lawyer. I met with large corporations thinking maybe with the resources they would be a better option. At the end of every conversation, I felt that Will had my best interest and was very honest. He is also a very friendly guy, I never felt judged, I was more of his friend. At the end of the day, all the warm feels are nice. But, he also got my case COMPLETELY dropped. No probation & no travel restrictions. He changed my life in a way that no Google review can capture. He’s amazing, choose him.

    Will Mitchell isn't just a great attorney, he's a great guy. He got the case flat-out dismissed. He gave my life back to me. When I had an urgent matter come up, he called me back after-hours on a Sunday. He's just that type of guy. You can trust Will with your life, he's just that type of guy. On top of everything, he didn't break the bank. 10/10 Would recommend to anyone that's in a jam and needs a legal Superman to come to the rescue!
