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.

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