Pedestrian Accident Attorneys in Dallas

Unfortunately, new studies show that drivers are more distracted than ever before – mainly attributable to using new technologies while traveling.  The use of cell phones, headphones, social media, and mobile devices are creating extremely dangerous conditions for other cars as well as pedestrians.

Pedestrian injuries are commonly severe.  Spine injuries, head and neck injuries, paralysis, and broken bones, occur frequently when pedestrians are struck by vehicles.
