Pedestrian Accidents in Texas

Houston, TX – Pedestrian Struck by Vehicle on Fannin StPedestrian accidents are a growing concern in Texas, with thousands of incidents occurring each year. According to state data, Texas consistently ranks among the highest in the country for pedestrian fatalities. In 2022 alone, over 5,000 pedestrian-related crashes were reported across the state, leading to numerous injuries and deaths.

Understanding the dangers pedestrians face is essential in preventing these tragic accidents. Below are some key factors that contribute to pedestrian crashes:

  • Distracted Driving – Many pedestrian accidents happen because drivers are not paying attention. Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or engaging in other distractions can lead to tragic consequences.
  • Failure to Yield – Intersections and crosswalks are common places where drivers fail to yield to pedestrians, causing serious injuries. Texas law requires motorists to give the right-of-way to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks.
  • Speeding – Excessive speed increases both the likelihood and severity of pedestrian accidents. A vehicle moving at high speeds significantly reduces the driver’s reaction time and the pedestrian’s chances of survival.
  • Poor Lighting Conditions – Many pedestrian accidents occur at night or in poorly lit areas. Limited visibility makes it harder for drivers to see pedestrians, leading to dangerous situations.
  • Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drug use impair a driver's judgment and reaction time, making it a significant factor in pedestrian-related crashes.
