We know the law. We understand how the legal system works. We can help you every step of the way – from filling out forms to filing a pedestrian accident lawsuit on your behalf, if necessary.

What Are Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents?
Pedestrian accidents happen for many different reasons. Often, it’s because a driver isn’t paying attention or driving in a reckless manner. More specifically, many pedestrian accidents occur due to:
- Texting while driving
- Drinking and driving
- Aggressive driving
- Reckless driving
- Falling asleep at the wheel
Every pedestrian accident is different. No two cases are ever exactly alike. That’s why it’s important to have a lawyer on your side who takes the time to find out exactly what happened. That’s why we want to meet with you.

What Makes Pedestrian Accidents So Complicated?
Pedestrian accidents often turn into complicated legal cases. Some of the reasons why include:
- The driver who caused your accident denies doing anything wrong.
- The at-fault driver claims you somehow caused the accident.
- The driver’s insurance company denies your pedestrian accident claim.

How long will it take to resolve my case?
It depends on many factors, such as the complexity of your case and how much money is at stake. In general, a case may take anywhere between a few months to a year. If your case goes to trial, it can take even longer.
Insurance companies try to delay the resolution of a case as long as possible. They don’t want to pay you the compensation you deserve. They are hoping that the longer they delay your case, the more likely it will be that you will give up or accept a lower settlement offer. We will guide you through the process every step of the way.
-
Should I accept a settlement offer from the insurance company?
Soon after your accident, you may be contacted by the insurance company. They are offering you a settlement! It may not be for as much as you were hoping, but they are promising quick payment. This offer will fall far short of covering the damages you have suffered. The insurance company just wants to save money.
You should never agree to any settlement unless you have first discussed the offer with an experienced Texas personal injury lawyer. You can get a much better settlement when an insurance company knows you have a personal injury attorney willing to go to trial on your behalf.
