Year after year, pedestrians are injured on Houston roads due to the negligence, carelessness or recklessness of others.
According to Texas law, drivers must exercise due care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian; yield to a pedestrian in crosswalks; stop or slow down before passing another vehicle stopped in a travel lane until the driver has determined whether that vehicle has stopped for a pedestrian; in the presence of a school crossing guard, wait for all persons including the guard to completely clear the road before proceeding.
01
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION & REPORT THE ACCIDENT
Your health comes first. Seek medical care immediately and report the accident when required, especially if there are injuries, major damages, or safety concerns.
02
DOCUMENT THE ACCIDENT SCENE
Take photos and videos of the vehicles, injuries, road conditions, license plates, insurance information, and any visible damage. Also collect witness contact information when possible.
03
NOTIFY THE INSURANCE COMPANY
Report the accident to the insurance company and keep track of the claim number, adjuster information, medical bills, repair estimates, and all communications.
04
WE DETERMINE LIABILITY
In Texas, responsibility matters. If a claimant is found to be more than 50% responsible for the accident, they may not be able to recover damages under Texas proportionate responsibility rules.
05
WE CALCULATE THE DAMAGES
Damages may include medical expenses, vehicle repairs, lost wages, pain and suffering, future treatment, and other losses related to the accident.
06
THEN WE TAKE LEGAL ACTION
We prepare the claim, negotiation with the insurance company, and file a lawsuit if a fair settlement is not reached. In Texas, personal injury and property damage claims generally have a two-year statute of limitations.
