Road accidents can be life-changing for pedestrians. When these accidents occur due to driver negligence, the victim is unfairly burdened by the aftermath. Spinal cord injuries, fractures, internal bleeding and traumatic brain injuries are some common injuries pedestrians can sustain.

If you were hit by a car while jogging or walking, a dedicated pedestrian accident lawyer in Corpus Christi can guide you through the process of filing a claim — and fighting to recover your losses.

Thomas J. Henry Law has over 250 lawyers ready to enforce your rights to compensation, and we will only charge legal fees if we win your case.

Compiling Pedestrian Accident Claims

Pedestrians don’t have any level of protection to soften the impact during a collision. Whether you were transported to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment or only endured minor injuries, you may be entitled to compensation that covers medical bills, income loss and other damages. Any cost that stems from the accident can be included in your compensation claim.

Determining Fault

A thorough investigation is critical to determining fault in all kinds of road accidents, and expert advocacy for the victim is often key to investigation outcomes. With police reports, eyewitness accounts, medical evidence and accident reconstruction techniques, our expert lawyers may be able to prove driver negligence.

The essential evidence to gather for your claim includes:

Detailed police reports: These reports include information about the type of road accident, the location, the kinds of damage, and driver or pedestrian offenses. You can request these reports at the police department where they were filed.
Eyewitness accounts: These statements provide perspectives of the accident from individuals who were nearby during the event. Collecting eyewitness statements is only plausible if bystanders are willing to provide them.
Medical reports: Your medical reports will detail your injuries. Even if you endured minor injuries, medical reports are key to supporting personal injury claims.

Calculating Claim Value

When calculating the value of your claim, you may be entitled to compensation for economic and noneconomic damages. We’ll fight to help you recover medical costs, lost income and other costs that stem from the incident. We can also help you pursue compensation associated with psychological trauma.

Calculating personal injury claims is a complex process. While it’s fairly straightforward to tally medical costs, calculating income loss and emotional distress damages requires legal expertise.

We can help calculate the total value of your personal injury lawsuit using key evidence like health care bills and pay slips.

The Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations, which varies across states, defines the maximum amount of time victims have to claim damages following an incident. The statute of limitations for a Corpus Christi pedestrian accident lawsuit is two years.

Your Questions Answered

We have straight answers to difficult questions
to help you make critical decisions, navigate
legal process and help you get justice.

Following an accident, there are always more questions
than answers. At Thomas J. Henry, we’re here to answer
any questions you have about your injury case.

If you have been injured, then you have undoubtedly questioned if you should contact an attorney or pursue your claim through your insurer. The important thing to remember is that there is a difference between contacting an attorney and hiring an attorney. Regardless of your injury or how it occurred, it is always best to at least reach out to an attorney. Speaking with an experienced attorney can help you understand the options that are available to you and inform you to your best course of action. This is why Thomas J. Henry Law offers FREE no-risk case consultations to all injured victims. Remember, insurance adjusters are familiar with claim procedures and liability, even when you are not. It is also important to remember that the primary job of an insurance adjuster is to limit their client’s liability and save their company money. Everything said during phone calls and recorded statements to an insurer can be used to challenge your claim, twist liability, and downplay the extent of your injuries. In short, the insurance company and its adjusters do not have your best interests in mind. Injury attorneys understand the tactics most often used by insurers to chip away at a claim, and they can advise you on how your case may benefit from experienced legal representation. The insurance company representing the person or entity responsible for your injuries has already begun the process of safeguarding themselves against liability – isn’t it time you took the steps necessary to protect your rights and claim to compensation?

A successful personal injury attorney will utilize their legal expertise, resources, and knowledgeable support staff to develop your case in a way that accurately demonstrates liability as well as any economic and non-economic damages you have incurred. The ultimate goal is to take care of the client's claim so that the client can focus on their health and physical recovery. Thomas J. Henry Law has the legal and financial resources necessary to properly build and handle your case in the most effective and efficient way possible. Your attorney will make sure you are treated with respect, are kept informed with the most up-to-date information on your case, and that you are comfortable throughout the entire legal process as we work to secure the compensation you deserve. We will also work with medical providers to ensure you receive proper medical treatment for all of your injuries. Experienced attorneys also have access to expert witnesses with specialized knowledge on a subject related to the case. Thomas J. Henry has spent years finding the best expert witnesses across the United States. Our firm retains the most qualified experts for each individual case, from accident reconstruction experts to medical professionals. Every expert undergoes a rigorous and in-depth examination process before ever being involved in a client’s case.

If you fail to contact an experienced Corpus Christi injury lawyer after an accident or injury, you are putting your entire personal injury claim in jeopardy. By choosing to go it alone, you run the risk of:

Unintentional inconsistencies – Crashes and accidents are hectic and disorienting. As time moves on, you will likely remember less and less about the events leading up to and following your accident. When an insurance company goes back to compare all the statements you made over a period of weeks or months, they will claim that any inconsistencies were attempts by you to mislead the company and label them as lies before a judge or a jury.
Exposure to trick questions – Representatives often ask trick questions or word their inquiries in a way meant to trick or trap you. You may even be pressured into agreeing to facts that are not completely accurate just to get the representative off your back. Even an aggravated response of “I don’t know, maybe” or “I guess” can come back to haunt you later.
Exposure to leading statements – Even a statement that seems innocent on its surface can damage your claim depending on your response. For example, by giving a positive response to statements like “I hope your back is starting to feel a bit better” or “Wow, it’s a miracle you weren’t more seriously injured,” you could be tricked into understating the severity of your injuries.
Failure to report undiagnosed injuries – Most doctors agree that the full extent of injuries suffered in an accident may not be evident until several days after the accident has occurred. If a claims adjuster contacts you within 24 hours of a crash and asks about your injuries, chances are you will not be able to provide a complete list of injuries. This will not stop the insurance company from questioning and attempting to dismiss any injuries that became symptomatic after that initial recorded statement was made.
Provide material for cross-examination – By the time deposition or trial occurs, chances are the defense counsel will have reviewed your recorded statements dozens of times. They will craft questions for cross-examination with the understanding that you likely don’t remember everything you said or agreed to in that recorded statement. And when you misremember or contradict yourself in a moment of confusion, they will try to claim your misstatement proves your testimony is not credible.
