Pedestrian Accidents

Let An Experienced Houston Pedestrian Accident Lawyer at Smith & Hassler Handle Your Case

Pedestrians struck by cars or trucks face a high potential for serious injury or even death. Pedestrians have the right of way under most conditions. But it's important to remember that both the driver and the pedestrian have a responsibility to be cautious around each other.

Pedestrian responsibilities include:

• Walking in crosswalks
• Crossing the street only with the walk signal
• Avoiding interrupting the flow of traffic by darting out into the street

Driver responsibilities include:

• Obeying speed limits
• Using turn signals
• Paying attention to road conditions
• Yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks

When children are pedestrians, the motorist carries a greater responsibility. Children's actions are usually less predictable than an adult's, making it more important for drivers to be more cautious around children.

Whether you are the driver or the pedestrian who is injured in the accident, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries. Our personal injury lawyers will investigate your case and assess a fair and just reward for your suffering.
