Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Serving the Arlington-Irving Metroplex

Pedestrian accidents are unfortunately all too common today. When a pedestrian is hit by an oncoming vehicle, the injuries sustained by the pedestrian can be critical, often leading to death. More often than not, the driver is distracted, ignoring their surroundings or traveling at a high rate of speed. Even so, the insurance companies representing these drivers almost always try to place the fault of the accident on the pedestrian. Having an experienced Texas personal injury attorney represent you is critically important.  Having a lawyer as your advocate can mean the difference between the driver walking away without any liability and you or your family receiving the compensation that’s deserved. Statistics show that a pedestrian is injured in a traffic accident every 7-8 minutes. Many drivers charged with the wrongful death of a pedestrian are also charged with vehicular manslaughter. Pedestrians are, of course, no match for a motor vehicle and injuries can be catastrophic, especially injuries to the spine and brain injuries. As an injured pedestrian, you may be entitled to financial damages for injuries caused by the driver’s negligence or the party responsible for a hazardous condition that may have contributed to the accident.

Possible Compensation for Injuries:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Past and future loss of earnings
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Loss of benefits
  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical expenses
  • Permanent disability payments
If the injuries are fatal and wrongful death is proved, loved ones can collect funeral and burial expenses, loss of earnings, loss of the value of household services, and loss of love and affection from the decedent. In these cases, forensic economists are generally retained by our law firm to calculate these losses.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents:

Man on pedestrian crossing in autumn, in danger of being hit by carThere are many causes of pedestrian accidents. If you’re at a crosswalk and choose not to use it, or cross against a signal, you may be found negligent for having caused your own injuries. However, motorists are under a legal duty to use due care when operating their vehicles, which includes being on the lookout for pedestrians. If the motorist breached that duty by speeding, ignoring a traffic signal, driving while distracted, or failing to see a pedestrian crossing in the area where they may reasonably cross, the driver may be held liable.
  • Ignoring traffic controls
  • Drivers ignoring crosswalks
  • Drivers ignoring traffic signals
  • Failing to see pedestrians crossing the road
  • Passing a school bus
  • Driving while intoxicated (DWI)
  • Distracted drivers
  • Blinded by the sun
  • Speeding
  • Exiting from a parked vehicle

I have worked with firms in the past that were advertised on the radio or billboards and I felt like a number-just a means to an end and sometimes forgotten. The Dashner Law Firm is the complete opposite. They are amazing.When I called the day after my accident, I expected to get an answering sevice but Geoffrey answered himself. He was polite and engaging and the rest of the office followed suite. Their focus was on me and my best interest. This is a firm of integrity and transparency. It was a really great experience.

I had previously left a one star review because, come to find out, the medical provider I went to for treatment after the collision was talking about balance billing me. Mr. Dashner himself called me and explained to me that they can’t do that and told me he would call them and straighten that out tomorrow. I appreciate him taking the time to call me and find out why I wasn’t happy and make sure the place I went to for treatment isn’t trying to pull a fast one one me.

Could not be more pleased with the service from the Dashner Law Firm and the outcome of my case. I was involved in an accident and was hit from behind while at a stop light.

I hired the Dashner Law Firm to represent me in an auto accident that I was in that resulted in a lot of medical bills. The insured that hit me didn’t have the coverage to cover all of the bills. The Dashner Law Firm worked with the hospital, doctors and chiropractic firms to reduce the amount I owed and was able to settle with the insured’s insurance company to get them all paid. The process was easy and they were extremely professional. I would highly recommend the Dashner Law Firm.
