What are the Major Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Austin, Texas?
Pedestrian accidents are some of the most traumatic collisions that occur on our roadways, as a person on foot has very little defense when confronted by a reckless driver.
The reality is, even when pedestrians are following all traffic signs and signals, using crosswalks, and looking both ways before entering our roadways, negligent drivers can still hit them, causing significant life-altering injuries.
Some of the main causes of pedestrian accidents in Texas include, but are not limited to:
- Distracted driving
- Fatigued driving
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Drivers disregarding traffic patterns
- Failing to obey traffic signs and signals
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failing to stop or yield at a pedestrian right of way, including crosswalks
- Making improper turns
- Failing to check for pedestrians before entering, exiting, or reversing in parking lots or structures
Getting hit by a car while on foot is life-changing but should never define your future. We want to help you pursue the financial recovery you are entitled to for your injuries, so you can take your life back.
