Walking should be a safe way to travel around Dallas, whether you're commuting to work downtown, crossing the street, or simply taking a stroll through your neighborhood. Unfortunately, pedestrians are extremely vulnerable when they share the roads with cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles. When drivers are distracted by cell phones, driving under the influence, speeding, or simply not paying attention to crosswalks and pedestrian signals, the results can be catastrophic. Pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and internal injuries that require extensive medical treatment and lengthy recovery periods.

Texas law requires drivers to exercise due care to avoid hitting pedestrians, yield the right-of-way at crosswalks, and follow traffic signals that protect people on foot. When drivers fail in these responsibilities and strike a pedestrian, they can be held liable for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. However, pedestrian accident cases can be complex because insurance companies often try to blame the pedestrian, claiming they were jaywalking, not paying attention, or somehow contributed to their own injuries. These tactics are designed to reduce the compensation you deserve and shift responsibility away from negligent drivers.

At Goldman Law, we understand the unique challenges pedestrian accident victims face and know how to investigate these cases thoroughly to establish driver negligence and hold the responsible parties accountable. We work with accident reconstruction experts, review traffic camera footage, gather witness statements, and examine all available evidence to build strong cases that demonstrate how the driver's carelessness caused your injuries. Even if you were partially at fault, Texas law allows you to recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% responsible for the accident. Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we successfully recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.

Pedestrians struck by motor vehicles often face months or years of medical treatment, physical therapy, and recovery time that prevents them from working and supporting their families. Don't let insurance companies minimize your claim or pressure you into accepting an inadequate settlement. Contact Goldman Law today for your free consultation and let us fight for the full compensation you deserve while you focus on healing from your injuries.
