Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Pedestrian accidents are a serious concern in Texas, particularly in busy urban areas like San Antonio.

Victims of pedestrian crashes often suffer from significant injuries that require extensive medical treatment. Hospitalization, rehabilitation, and lost wages can place a financial strain on those affected. In cases where negligence plays a role, injured pedestrians may have the right to seek compensation for their losses.
