Legal Rights of Injured Pedestrians in Texas

If a driver’s negligence caused your injuries, you may recover compensation for medical care, lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, and long-term needs. Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked crosswalks, and drivers must exercise care even when a person is crossing outside a crosswalk. Texas comparative negligence rules may reduce damages if both sides share fault, but you can still recover if you are less than 51 percent responsible.


In hit-and-run situations, we pursue every available path, including uninsured motorist coverage on your own auto policy when applicable, as well as potential third-party responsibility from employers, property owners, or event operators. When a heavy commercial vehicle is involved, our truck accident lawyer investigates driver logs, maintenance records, and route data to identify violations.

Answers to Common Pedestrian Accident Questions

  • What should I do if I’m hit by a car while walking?

    Call 911 and get medical help immediately. If you can, gather the driver’s information, license plate, and witness contacts, and take photos of the scene and your injuries. Avoid apologizing or accepting blame. Contact an attorney before giving a statement to any insurer.

  • Will the driver always be at fault in a pedestrian accident?

    Not automatically, but drivers have a high duty to watch for pedestrians and yield at crosswalks. We investigate signals, sightlines, speed, and phone records to determine liability. Even if you were outside a crosswalk, responsibility may still rest with the driver depending on the facts.

  • What if it was a hit-and-run?

    Report it to the police and seek medical care. We can pursue an uninsured motorist claim if your policy allows, look for traffic and business cameras, and coordinate with investigators to identify the vehicle and driver.

  • What compensation can I get as an injured pedestrian?

    Medical expenses, future treatment, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and costs related to rehabilitation or permanent disability. We document every loss to demand full value.

  • Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company made an offer?

    Early offers often overlook future medical needs, wage loss, and non-economic damages. An attorney values the full claim and protects you from statements or releases that could hurt your case.
