Dallas Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Thomas J. Henry Law’s Dallas Pedestrian Accident Lawyers Have Represented Client Across the Coastal Bend for Over 30 Years.

While drivers have airbags, seatbelts and other helpful safety features to help minimize the risk of impact injuries, pedestrians are completely exposed. As a result, accidents can be fatal or life-changing for pedestrian victims. 

If you or your loved one was struck by the vehicle of a negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation. A pedestrian accident lawyer in Dallas can fight to help you recover damages. Our team of devoted personal injury lawyers is ready to review your case at no cost, and we don’t charge legal fees until we win your case.

Proving Driver Negligence in Pedestrian Lawsuits

Driver negligence can come in several forms, including speeding, contradicting traffic signals, and driving under the influence. 

If you were struck by a vehicle while walking or jogging along a pavement or sidewalk, our team of Dallas pedestrian accident lawyers can review the evidence to help determine liability. 

We can work to protect your rights as a victim of driver negligence using critical documents like:

  • Detailed police reports
  • Medical reports and health care bills
  • Eyewitness statements

Police reports will relay details of the investigation that can determine driver liability, while medical evidence can highlight the severity of the road accident. We will consider the full picture in our review of your case.

Calculating the Value of Your Claim

Surviving victims of road accidents may endure both physical and psychological trauma. Fractures, spinal cord injuries and neurological injuries can leave a permanent or long-term impact on the victim’s everyday life.

The high costs of life-saving and ongoing medical care are just a portion of the financial damages following an accident. The process of recovering from injury or living with devastating outcomes can cause income loss, which may be indefinite or permanent in some cases. Your compensation claim may include income losses and the potential for future indefinite income loss. 

When accidents are fatal, the negligent driver may be liable for wrongful death. The family of the victim may be able to claim compensation for funeral and burial costs, household income loss, and pain and suffering. 

Our experienced pedestrian accident lawyers in Dallas can determine the value of your claim. With over two decades of service to personal injury victims, we work to ensure fair compensation is paid to victims of pedestrian road accidents.

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.
We do accept walk-ins at our Corpus Christi offices. For your convenience, however, you may wish to make an appointment by calling our offices or completing an online contact form.
