Texas Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
Serving Injured Clients Nationwide from Our Texas Offices in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas
If you or a loved one has been struck by a vehicle while walking, you need an experienced Texas pedestrian accident lawyer on your side. At Thomas J. Henry Law, our team is committed to protecting pedestrian rights and fighting for the maximum compensation you deserve.
Pedestrian accidents can lead to devastating injuries and overwhelming medical bills. Our skilled pedestrian injury attorneys have a proven track record of securing compensation for victims across Texas. Let us handle your legal claim while you focus on your recovery.
Why You Need a Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Texas
After a pedestrian accident, understanding your legal rights is critical. You may be eligible to recover damages for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Our pedestrian accident attorneys in Texas are trained to handle aggressive insurance tactics and pursue the full compensation you’re entitled to. Without legal representation, you may unknowingly settle for less than you deserve.
Contrary to popular belief, most pedestrian accident claims do not go to court. However, having a knowledgeable attorney prepares you for all possible outcomes and gives you leverage during negotiations.
Types of Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Victims of pedestrian accidents may qualify for various forms of compensation, including:
Medical Expenses
Covers emergency care, hospital stays, physical therapy, surgery, medications, and future medical treatments related to your injuries.
Lost Wages and Future Earnings
If your injuries prevent you from working, you may claim lost income and potential future earnings affected by your accident.
Pain and Suffering
This includes physical pain, mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Though harder to quantify, our attorneys are skilled at proving non-economic damages.
Wrongful Death
If a loved one was killed in a pedestrian accident, their surviving family members may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim. This can include funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and the pain and suffering caused by the untimely loss.
Our goal is to maximize your financial recovery and secure the resources needed for a full and fair recovery.
How Our Texas Pedestrian Accident Lawyers Build Your Case
At Thomas J. Henry Law, we follow a proven process to build strong pedestrian accident claims:
- Gathering Evidence: Photos of the accident scene, surveillance footage, police reports, and medical records
- Interviewing Witnesses: First-hand accounts that help establish fault and strengthen your case
- Determining Liability: Reviewing driver behavior, crosswalk signals, road conditions, and applicable Texas traffic laws
- Handling Insurance Claims: We communicate directly with insurance companies and negotiate on your behalf
We manage every step of your case with care, precision, and dedication—ensuring your rights are protected and your voice is heard.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accident injuries can be severe and life-altering. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones and fractures (especially in legs and pelvis)
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Soft tissue injuries and internal organ damage
Recovery often involves extended medical treatment, therapy, and long-term rehabilitation. Our attorneys work closely with your medical providers to build a comprehensive case that fully accounts for your suffering and expenses.
Pedestrian Safety and Accident Prevention in Texas
At Thomas J. Henry Law, we advocate not just for justice after accidents—but for safer streets across Texas. Pedestrians can reduce risks by:
- Using crosswalks
- Obeying traffic signals
- Avoiding distractions like phones while walking
However, many accidents result from poor urban planning or negligent drivers. That’s why we also support better infrastructure, improved lighting, and education programs that promote road safety for both drivers and pedestrians.

Your Pedestrian Accident Questions Answered
We have straight answers to difficult questions to help you make critical decisions, navigate legal process and help you get justice.
Following a pedestrian 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.
