You Deserve Justice No Matter How Your Accident Occurred
Pedestrian accidents occur for many reasons, often due to driver negligence. Some of the most common causes include:
- Distracted or texting drivers
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Failing to yield at crosswalks or intersections
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failing to drive more carefully when visibility is poor
Regardless of the cause, if a negligent driver has injured you, our law firm partners can pursue justice on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call 911 immediately to receive medical attention and have the police document the scene. If possible, gather contact information from the driver and witnesses, and take photos of the accident site. Contact The Goldwater Law Firm as soon as possible; we can connect you with a Texas pedestrian accident attorney who can help you understand your rights before speaking with insurance companies.
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a car accident lawsuit in Texas. However, exceptions exist, so contacting us quickly helps to protect your right to compensation.
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, you must be less at fault than the driver, and your percentage of fault will reduce your recoverable compensation. Your attorney will fight to minimize unfair blame and present evidence showing the driver’s negligence caused your injuries.
Yes, possibly. Even if you were not in a crosswalk, drivers still have a duty to exercise reasonable care and avoid hitting pedestrians. Your attorney can analyze the facts of your case to determine liability. Because Texas is a modified comparative negligence state, crossing outside of a crosswalk could lessen your recoverable damages.
