Common Causes Of Pedestrian Accidents In Bexar County
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there were 6,095 car accidents involving pedestrians in Texas in 2024. Driver negligence is one of the leading causes of foot traffic collisions across Bexar County. Examples include:
- Distracted driving, including texting
- Speeding
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Reckless driving
- Driver inattention
- Failure to yield
Under Texas Transportation Code § 552.002, drivers must yield to pedestrians who cross the street in a marked crosswalk with a walk signal. Drivers must also yield when traffic control signals are not in place. If negligent drivers violate these state laws, our personal injury team is ready to hold them accountable.
The Severe Injuries Resulting From Pedestrian Accidents
Vehicles offer no protection to vulnerable pedestrians during a car crash. Pedestrians frequently suffer severe, life-altering physical trauma that requires extensive medical care. Some of the most common injuries in these claims include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord damage
- Neck and back injuries
- Soft tissue injuries such as whiplash
- Organ damage
- Paralysis
These catastrophic injuries often lead to lost wages, permanent disability and massive medical bills. Drawing from their considerable experience, our attorneys can help you obtain proper medical care while building a strong legal claim on your behalf.
