First, ensure your safety and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms may take time to manifest. Report the accident to the police to obtain an official report. Exchange contact and insurance information with the driver involved, but avoid discussing fault at the scene. Document the scene with photos or videos if possible, and collect contact information from witnesses. Finally, consult with a pedestrian accident attorney before speaking with insurance companies.
The Barber Law Firm can assist you by filing insurance claims or lawsuits on your behalf, managing case deadlines, gathering evidence, establishing negligence, assessing your damages, handling all case-related communications, advocating for your best possible outcome during negotiations, and representing you in court if necessary. We also provide personalized support, answering your questions and keeping you informed throughout the process.
Yes, Texas operates under a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still seek compensation if you were partially at fault, as long as your fault is not greater than 50%. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
You may be eligible to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages. The specifics depend on the details of your case and the extent of your injuries.
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Texas, including pedestrian accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. Delaying beyond this period can jeopardize your right to compensation.
Most pedestrian accident claims are settled out of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, The Barber Law Firm is prepared to represent you at trial to ensure you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.
Every day in the United States, an average of nearly 1,000 pedestrians sustain injuries due to drivers’ negligent or aggressive behavior. These incidents range from minor to fatal injuries.
