Pedestrian Accidents Attorney In San Antonio, Texas

Pedestrian accidents often result from various types of driver negligence. Distracted driving, such as texting or eating behind the wheel, is a frequent cause, as distracted drivers may fail to notice pedestrians. Speeding is another major factor, as drivers who exceed speed limits have less time to react, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Failure to yield at crosswalks and intersections also puts pedestrians at significant risk. Impaired driving due to alcohol, drugs, or medication severely impairs judgment and reaction times, leading to dangerous situations for pedestrians. Additionally, fatigued driving, though less discussed, can be equally hazardous, as tired drivers have slower reaction times and impaired decision-making abilities. The Major Law Firm investigates these factors thoroughly to establish liability in pedestrian accidents.

Pedestrian accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor to life-threatening. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are common, especially when the head impacts the ground or a vehicle. These can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage, necessitating extensive medical evaluation and care. Spinal cord injuries may lead to paralysis and other long-term disabilities, significantly impacting the victim’s life. Broken or dislocated bones, internal organ damage, and severe lacerations or amputations are also frequent outcomes of pedestrian accidents. Each of these injuries requires specialized medical treatment and rehabilitation. The Major Law Firm partners with medical experts to ensure all injuries are properly documented and seeks comprehensive compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term care needs.
