Overview of the Stewart J. Guss Firm

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Dallas

Pedestrian injuries are frequently caused by driver negligence. Common contributing factors include:

Distracted driving (texting, eating, GPS use)
Failure to yield at crosswalks or intersections
Speeding, especially in residential or school zones
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Turning without looking for pedestrians

Whether you were injured on a quiet street or in a high-traffic zone, if a driver acted negligently, you may have a strong case for compensation.

Most Dangerous Places for Pedestrians in Dallas

Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere, but some intersections and roadways see more incidents:

The West End (Downtown)

High foot traffic near transit stations increases risk.

West Northwest Highway

Limited sidewalks and high speeds.

Ledbetter Dr. at Sunnyvale St.

Wide, multi-lane roads with poor pedestrian access.

Lovers Lane at Greenville Ave.

Busy intersections with heavy turning traffic.

Coit Rd. at Spring Valley Rd.

High-speed roads and retail congestion.

If you were hit in one of these areas or any other part of Dallas, reach out to our firm immediately. We will investigate your case thoroughly.

Lower body trauma: fractures, muscle tears, pelvic injuries

Emotional trauma: anxiety, PTSD, depression

Dallas Pedestrian Accident FAQs

Who has the right-of-way at a pedestrian crosswalk in Dallas?

Under Texas law, pedestrians have the right-of-way in crosswalks when no traffic signals are present. Drivers must yield if the pedestrian is in their lane or approaching it.

How long do I have to file a claim?

You typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in Texas. Some exceptions may apply, so speak with a lawyer promptly.

Should I speak to the insurance company?

No. Let your attorney handle all communications. Insurance companies may use your words against you to reduce or deny your claim.

What if the traffic signals weren’t working when I was hit?

Even when signals are down, drivers are still required by law to yield to pedestrians and drive safely. You may still be entitled to compensation.

Can I still file a claim if I had a previous injury?

Yes. Even if you had a pre-existing condition, the at-fault party is still liable for aggravating that condition under the “eggshell skull” rule.

Will my case settle or go to trial?

Most pedestrian accident claims settle out of court. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
