What Leads To Serious Pedestrian Accidents In Houston?
Many pedestrian crashes result from:
- Distracted driving
- Failing to yield at crosswalks
- Speeding
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Poor visibility and missing sidewalks
Tiecia Ayers has what it takes to identify the responsible parties and pursue the compensation her clients deserve.
Pedestrian Rights That Shape Your Claim
Pedestrians often suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, internal injuries and severe soft-tissue injuries that require months or even years of treatment. If you were injured in a crosswalk, Texas law may allow you to recover damages when another party’s negligence caused the collision.
With the Texas modified comparative negligence rule, you may still recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the accident. In most cases, personal injury claims must also be filed within two years of the accident.
Taking The Right Steps Can Protect Your Recovery After A Crosswalk Injury
After a pedestrian accident:
- Get immediate medical care even if your injuries seem minor.
- Report the collision and request a copy of the police report.
- Photograph the accident scene and your injuries when possible.
- Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies.
Most importantly, speak with a pedestrian accident lawyer before accepting any settlement.
You may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, future medical treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and other losses related to your injuries. If a pedestrian accident results in the loss of a loved one, surviving family members may also have the right to pursue wrongful death damages under Texas law.
How Insurance Companies Push Back Against Pedestrian Accident Claims
Insurance companies may:
- Argue you were distracted or failed to use a crosswalk
- Question whether your injuries are as serious as you claim
- Pressure you into accepting a quick settlement before you understand the full extent of your losses
- Delay communication to create financial pressure
- Dispute future medical expenses or lost earning capacity
Attorney Tiecia Ayers knows these tactics and works to recover the right compensation.
