Why Do Pedestrian Collisions Happen?
Collisions between vehicles and pedestrians are unfortunately quite common in Texas. In 2018, 621 pedestrians in Texas lost their lives in encounters with motor vehicles, according to the
Department of Transportation. Thousands of others received serious and painful injuries. Attorney Aaron A. Herbert has enough experience helping clients with pedestrian accident claims to recognize the preventable nature of these collisions. Pedestrian accidents almost always arise from human error.
- Distracted, inattentive, careless and negligent drivers
- Drunk, aggressive, speeding and reckless drivers
- Drivers who break roadway rules and traffic laws
- Unsafe road, sidewalk, crosswalk, intersection or pedestrian pathway designs
- Roadway defects such as potholes and dangerous construction zones
- Malfunctioning crosswalk and traffic signals
Pedestrians are at risk of serious injuries anywhere their paths cross those of motor vehicle drivers, such as crosswalks and intersections.
