Pedestrian accidents in Texas
Being harmed in a vehicle collision can have overwhelming consequences. This is especially true for pedestrians who are struck by vehicles throughout our state. In Texas, more than 7,500 people are injured in pedestrian accidents each year. Many victims require immediate medical treatment, surgery, and hospitalization. In many cases, victims suffer from broken bones in spinal cord injuries that leave them in overwhelming pain. As if dealing with pain were not enough, thousands of people require extensive medical treatment for their injuries. In most cases of severe injuries, victims are required to spend extensive time in area hospitals and go through therapy for months. Although we want to think that everyone is able to get the medical treatment they need to recover, that is not always the case. In fact, thousands of people are left with serious injuries that impact their ability to perform tasks, cause lasting pain and suffering, and prevent them from working.
A significant number of accident victims are harmed as a result of distracted, impaired, and reckless drivers in our state.
