Do I Need to File a Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit?

Many injury victims worry that their injuries may not be catastrophic enough to warrant the pursuit of insurance or civil claims. However, instead of considering the type of injury you were diagnosed with, you may want to consider the ways your life has been affected by your injuries. This will be the deciding factor when determining whether you have grounds for a lawsuit. 

With that being said, pedestrian accidents have been known to produce certain types of injuries more frequently than others. 

Some of the common types of injuries seen in pedestrian accidents in Tyler include:

  • Facial injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Concussion
  • Third-degree burns
  • Road rash
  • Loss of limbs
  • Broken and fractured bones

If you suffered another type of injury, you may still have the right to financial compensation. If you are anxious to find out what your legal options are, do not hesitate to contact a pedestrian accident attorney in Tyler for help.

The guidance and patience exhibited by Attorney LaRue and his team were paramount in the successful navigation of this event for my family and I. In a perfect world I won't have to ring his phone anytime soon, but should the Truck of Life dump on me again, I wouldn't hesitate to dial them up.

Common Causes Of Tyler Pedestrian Accidents

Drivers of motor vehicles have an obligation to look out for children. Our lawyers have helped many families devastated by the injury or death of a child in an accident. We provide a strong arm for them to lean on in difficult times. Cities with lots of traffic, parked cars, and pedestrians, are not the only place where pedestrian accidents occur. 

Rural areas seldom have sidewalks or adequate shoulders; the speed limits are higher than in a city. As a result, the countryside sees more than its fair share of catastrophic and fatal pedestrian accidents. When hit on a country road, pedestrians, bicyclists, and horse riders are usually seriously injured or killed because of the high speeds. 

Our law firm has helped people injured and the families of those killed because drivers were:

  • Driving while intoxicated
  • Turning right at a stop sign without stopping
  • Speeding in a school zone
  • Passing a stopped school bus
  • Driving too close to the shoulder
  • Failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk or intersection
  • Running a red light

Texas Laws That Could Affect Your Pedestrian Accident Case

There are several personal injury laws in Texas that could have an impact on your pedestrian accident case. Some of the most important laws you need to be aware of include:

  • The statute of limitations for personal injury claims including pedestrian accident lawsuits is only two years
  • Texas follows a proportionate responsibility system, also known as modified comparative negligence, with a 50% threshold
  • If you are injured in a pedestrian accident, you need to file a claim with the liable party’s auto insurance provider following your accident as opposed to your own insurance carrier.

What Is My Tyler Pedestrian Accident Claim Worth?

To find out how much your pedestrian accident claim is worth in Tyler, your lawyer will need to know every way your life has been affected by your pedestrian accident injuries. There are many losses you could recover, including both economic and non-economic damages. 

Some of the more commonly awarded losses include:

  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Skin scarring and disfigurement
  • Lost wages
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Property damages
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

You can get a better idea of how much your pedestrian accident insurance and civil claims are worth when you discuss your damages in greater detail with your Tyler pedestrian accident lawyer.
