Corpus Christi Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
Thomas J. Henry Law’s Corpus Christi Pedestrian Accident Lawyers Have Represented Client Across the Coastal Bend for Over 30 Years.
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.
How Does the “No Win No Fee” Promise Work?
The Thomas J. Henry “No Win No Fee” promise works as part of a contingency fee agreement. Instead of receiving payments from clients, we recoup fees and expenses from the final settlement or verdict our clients receive.
This allows us to start working on your case as soon as you hire us, ensuring that your case is handled with the urgency it deserves. It also means you can focus on getting better rather than cutting us a check.
The percentage we collect may vary depending on the complexity of your case, but you will be kept informed so you know what we are collecting before your case is closed.
Even better, you owe us nothing if we don’t win your case! Because our fees are collected as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, we do not collect anything unless and until you get your recovery. This means there is no risk to hiring a qualified attorney to handle your case!
Do I Have to Pay to Speak with an Injury Attorney?
Thomas J. Henry Law offers free case reviews so that you can better understand your legal options. This means you pay nothing for your first consultation. Additionally, Thomas J. Henry Law works on a contingency fee basis meaning that if you do choose to hire us, you pay us nothing unless and until we win your case.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney Help Me Settle My Case?
Insurance companies will attempt to pay out as little as possible when resolving an injury claim. When an individual pursues compensation from an insurance company without the aid of an attorney, the insurance company may see the lack of representation as an opportunity to lowball the injured victim as there is no immediate risk of trial or legal recourse.
By hiring a competent attorney who has a reputation for achieving large verdicts in the courtroom, you are sending a message to the insurer. It will provide the insurance company with extra incentive to offer a fair settlement the first time.
If that first offer is not fair, an experienced personal attorney will have the resources and the knowledge to negotiate with the insurance company in pursuit of a better offer.
What is a Contingency Fee?
In a contingency fee arrangement, an attorney agrees to accept a fixed percentage of your recovery as payment. This means that if you win your case, your attorney will collect their fees and expenses from the money awarded to you. However, if you lose your case, your attorney will collect nothing.
Most lawyers prefer not to work on contingency cases for two reasons:
- There is a risk the firm will be paid nothing
- Any payment is delayed until money is collected from the opposing party
Generally, a lawyer who accepts contingency fee cases:
- Regularly represents clients who lack the financial resources to pay hourly attorney’s fees (as is often the case for personal injury victims).
- Is more selective about the cases they accept.
- Is very confident in their ability to win the cases they choose to handle.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
The cost associated with hiring a personal injury attorney and how payment is collected may vary from firm to firm. At Thomas J. Henry, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we don’t charge our clients a penny unless and until we win their case.
Working on a contingency fee basis allows clients access to resources and legal representation they might otherwise struggle to afford. The more serious a case is, the more money it costs to take to trial. This is because complex litigation tends to take longer to resolve and the entities involved fight harder.
This is especially true if your lawsuit is against a large company, as would be the case in a trucking accident or on-the-job injury. Such companies employ teams of lawyers and have seemingly unlimited financial resources. You need an attorney who has the same. Thomas J. Henry employs a team of more than 100 attorneys and has the money to fight your case out to the end.
Finally, by collecting any fees and expenses after a verdict or settlement is secured, Thomas J. Henry can help ensure his clients are able to focus on healing. “The client’s job is to heal. We will handle the rest,” says Thomas J. Henry.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
In Texas, a personal injury case is only worth what a jury is willing to award you. This is why you need an attorney who can not only prove the economic damages you have sustained due to your accident, but can also demonstrate the value of non-economic damages you may have sustained, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.
