Pedestrian accidents are a significant concern in Texas, and understanding the legal jurisdiction around them is crucial. Law enforcement outlines the rights and responsibilities of drivers and pedestrians to ensure the safety of El Paso’s residents.
We’ve listed some of the most important ones below.
Right of Way:
Pedestrians generally have the right of way at crosswalks and intersections. Drivers must yield to pedestrians crossing legally within these areas, and accidents occurring due to not yielding can be used as means for compensation.
Keep in mind that pedestrians must also obey traffic control signals and use designated crosswalks where available. Jaywalking, or crossing outside of a crosswalk, can reduce a pedestrian’s ability to claim the right of way in an accident.
Duty of Care:
Both pedestrians and drivers owe a duty of care to each other. Drivers must exercise caution, especially in areas with high pedestrian traffic, while pedestrians must stay alert and avoid sudden, unpredictable movements that could lead to accidents.
Sidewalks and Roadways:
Where sidewalks are provided, pedestrians are required to use them rather than walking on the roadway. Otherwise, foot traffic could get in the way of cars and cause destruction.
If no sidewalk is available, pedestrians should walk on the left side of the road, facing oncoming traffic, to enhance visibility and safety.
Victims of pedestrian accidents in Texas have the right to seek compensation for their injuries and losses. Some covered costs we strive for in our cases include:
Compensation for current and future medical bills resulting from the accident, including hospitalization, surgeries, medications, therapy, and rehabilitation.
Reimbursement for lost income due to the inability to work during recovery, as well as compensation for any future loss of earning capacity.
Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and the overall impact of the accident on the victim’s quality of life.
In the horrible event of a pedestrian fatality, surviving family members may seek compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other related damages.
