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:
