Pedestrian Accidents

Were You Injured In An Accident As A Pedestrian?

Walking down the street should not be a dangerous activity. Unfortunately, every day in Texas and across the country, pedestrians are injured in accidents with cars and other motor vehicles. Accidents that often involve serious, life-changing injuries.

If you or someone you love has been hit by a car or otherwise injured in a pedestrian accident, you have the right to file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for those injuries.

Mr. Fierros is a highly experienced personal injury lawyer who left his work at a large, big-name firm to offer the personalized, attentive services injury victims like you require to recover fully, both medically and financially.

Folks love to say everything is bigger in Texas, and while bigger is often better, attorney Joseph Fierros noticed something important while working in San Antonio.

Why Are Pedestrian Accidents Usually Eligible For Personal Injury Compensation?

Unlike accidents involving two vehicles, no pedestrian has a cage of fiberglass and plastic to absorb the shock of impact, or airbags to protect them from injury. When you get hit, even at lower speeds, your body is likely to suffer serious, impactful damage. Such injuries often include:

• Bone fractures
• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Spinal cord damage
• Crush injuries
• Internal bleeding and damage to organs
• Other serious or even catastrophic injuries

Such injuries are expensive to treat, and medical bills are only the first in a long list of costs and losses. It is these expenses that you can claim compensation for with the help of a personal injury lawyer, assuming you were not at fault for the injury.

When a driver loses control, takes a reckless risk, or ignores traffic laws and common sense and hits a pedestrian on a sidewalk or in a crosswalk, liability generally shifts to the driver. Cases can become more complicated if you were jaywalking or crossing against a “Don’t Walk” sign. If you are unsure whether your specific accident and injury qualify, call personal injury lawyer Joseph Fierros today.
