When a pedestrian is struck by several thousand pounds of metal and glass, there is a high potential for serious injury or death. Pedestrians and cars just don't mix. One pedestrian is injured by a motor vehicle every 8 minutes, and every 111 minutes one of those injured will die. Although two-thirds of pedestrian deaths occur in cities where traffic is heavy, they can also occur in rural areas.
Driver negligence is the most common cause for car accidents that result in the injury or death of a pedestrian. The driver may fail to yield the right of way to pedestrians in a crosswalk, may run a stop sign or stop light, could be speeding, or may simply not be paying attention. Injuries resulting from a pedestrian being struck by an automobile can range from bumps, bruises and broken bones to the more extreme such as traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, paralysis, amputation, coma or death.

An experienced pedestrian accident attorney from Richardson Richardson Boudreaux Keesling is available to answer your questions. We will work hard to ensure you are compensated for harm, injuries, distress, medical costs, and loss of earnings.
