Texas is a car culture. With its sprawling freeways and large geographical footprint, Houston is a city designed first and foremost for drivers, not pedestrians. It’s home to the country’s widest freeway (26 lanes!) and ranks as one of the top ten most congested cities for traffic in America. Unfortunately, living in a metropolitan community with heavy traffic means you and your loved ones are at higher risk of being hit by a car while you’re out walking or running. In fact, pedestrian deaths are on the rise statewide and now account for one in every five traffic fatalities in Texas.
Pedestrians typically have the right of way. Since drivers are usually expected to yield to people on foot, many pedestrian accidents are caused by driver negligence or other factors beyond a pedestrian’s control. Victims need legal guidance when pursuing damages against a driver for the suffering, lost time, and emotional anguish they’re forced to endure.
If you’re a pedestrian who’s been hit by a motorist, or you’ve lost a loved one due to driver negligence, turn to Houston pedestrian accident attorney Darius Khosravian at DK Law. As an experienced Houston personal injury lawyer, he can accurately assess your case and give you guidance on the best way to move forward.
