When it comes to pedestrian safety, Texas does not have a great reputation. Every year, the number of pedestrian fatalities on the state's roadways continues to rise. The state's rate of pedestrian fatalities increased by about 30 percent in the last five years. In 2021, pedestrians are expected to be involved in one out of every five traffic fatalities on Texas highways. People who are walking are more likely to sustain severe or even fatal injuries in a motor vehicle collision. Pedestrians continue to be over-represented in national roadway fatalities. Because of this, it is even more crucial that you are able to work with an experienced attorney to pursue a compensation claim.
