Pedestrian Accidents in Texas: Who Pays When a Driver Fails to Stop?
Pedestrian Accidents in Texas: Who Pays When a Driver Fails to Stop?
Drivers have a duty to watch for people — especially in crosswalks. When they don’t, we demand justice.
The Vulnerability of Pedestrians in Montgomery County
Whether walking through The Woodlands Waterway, crossing an intersection near Conroe ISD schools, or jogging along neighborhood roads, pedestrians are at extreme risk when drivers fail to pay attention. A vehicle weighing several thousand pounds moving at only 25 mph delivers devastating force on impact.
Victims are often left with lifelong injuries — and major financial hardship.
How Drivers Cause Pedestrian Crashes
- Failing to yield at marked crosswalks
- Speeding in neighborhoods with children present
- Distracted driving — texting instead of watching the road
- Rolling stops through stop signs
- Impaired driving
Texas law requires drivers to exercise a higher level of care when pedestrians are present.
Severe Injuries Require Full and Fair Compensation
Because pedestrians have zero protection, injuries often include:
- Broken bones and joint damage
- Internal bleeding
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
The cost of recovery is overwhelming — but the law is designed to help victims rebuild their lives.

- Body cam and dashcam from law enforcement
- Security footage from nearby businesses
- Phone usage records
- Accident reconstruction expert testimony
We make accountability unavoidable.
