Pedestrian Accident Statistics in Texas

Across the country, thousands of pedestrians are hurt or killed each year due to negligent drivers. Unfortunately, Texas has some of the highest pedestrian accident statistics in the nation. Pedestrian accidents can cause serious physical and emotional injuries that take a toll on victims and their families. 

The following are just some of the key statistics related to pedestrian accidents in Texas: 

  • In Texas, nearly 3,000 pedestrians are killed or injured annually due to traffic collisions. 
  • On average, over 500 pedestrians are killed in the state each year.
  • Pedestrian fatalities account for 14% of all road deaths in the state. 
  • Between 2008 and 2018, pedestrian fatalities increased by 47%. 

Common Injuries Suffered By Pedestrian Accident Victims 

Due to a lack of protective gear like airbags, seat belts, and bumpers, pedestrians are highly vulnerable on the road. Pedestrians involved in car accidents often endure life-changing injuries that can affect their capacity to work and support their families.

Some of the most common pedestrian accident injuries include: 

  • Traumatic brain injuries 
  • Spinal cord injuries 
  • Fractures and broken bones 
  • Internal organ damage 
  • Lacerations and other soft tissue injuries

To prevent such serious consequences from occurring, pedestrians must be extra cautious when approaching crosswalks and obey all traffic lights. Even so, you cannot predict the behavior of drivers around you and some accidents are unavoidable. For these reasons, it's crucial to get in touch with an experienced attorney who understands how to handle such cases. 

What an Austin Pedestrian Accidents Attorney Can Do For You

When a pedestrian is hit or injured in an accident, they may be eligible to make a personal injury claim. Depending on the severity of their injuries and other factors, claimants can seek compensation for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, property damage, and more.

An experienced attorney can pursue numerous damages on behalf of their clients. This includes:

  • "I can't say enough amazing things about Will Mitchell."
    I can't say enough amazing things about Will Mitchell. My case was dismissed (I didn't think we had a shot) and now just signed a petition for it to be removed for good. I'm typically a little over-amped with my thoughts in general, and he was very responsive and always had calming things to say! I felt I could reach him regarding any little question, and he was always happy to help. I'm still blown away that he was able to get the DWI dismissed, and now off my record. He's a fantastic lawyer, and I'm so happy I chose him!
