Walking across Dallas streets shouldn’t come with the risk of serious injury or death. Yet every year, distracted drivers, dangerous intersections, and poorly designed roadways turn routine crosswalks into collision zones where pedestrians suffer devastating injuries. A driver checking their phone or being reckless, a poorly timed traffic signal, or inadequate lighting can transform an everyday walk into a tragedy.
At Kherkher Garcia LLP, we understand how a single accident can disrupt a family’s financial stability, savings, and sense of security. Victims face mounting medical bills, lost wages, and long-term disabilities while dealing with insurance companies that minimize their suffering. Whether you were struck while crossing a road, walking along a sidewalk, in a parking lot, or at a bus stop, a Dallas pedestrian accident lawyer at Kherkher Garcia can help protect your rights and pursue the compensation you need to move forward.
Pedestrian accidents don’t just cause bruises and a quick trip to the doctor. Many people face serious injuries, surgeries, months of therapy, and time away from work. These all place new pressure on a household budget. The resulting challenges affect income, childcare, transportation, and even basic daily routines.
As noted in recent data from the Texas Department of Transportation, pedestrians make up only a small share of total traffic crashes in Texas, yet they account for a disproportionate share of deaths. Statewide data recorded 6,095 crashes involving pedestrians, including 773 fatalities and 1,454 serious injuries in 2024. Those figures highlight the vulnerability of anyone on foot when a driver looks away, is intoxicated, or speeds through an intersection.
Having legal guidance early on helps victims and families navigate the legal process with more confidence. A Dallas pedestrian accident lawyer can interpret complex insurance policies, coordinate documentation, and anticipate obstacles that often delay fair settlements.
Pedestrian accident claims often involve contested fault, multiple insurance policies, and complex medical questions. Insurers may question visibility, argue a pedestrian stepped into traffic, or downplay long-term limitations. Having counsel ensures your rights are protected and keeps the case organized while you focus on treatment.
What a Dallas pedestrian accident lawyer may do to move a case forward:
When necessary, we look beyond the driver. Construction contractors, companies that manage vehicle fleets, and entities responsible for roadway maintenance may share fault in certain situations. A careful investigation ensures no viable source of recovery gets missed, and for many families, that diligence makes a difference.
Dallas roads carry heavy volumes of vehicles, delivery vans, and buses alongside people walking to work, school, or transit. The Texas Department of Transportation data highlights several behaviors and conditions that appear in crash reports.
Top contributing factors include:
Danger tends to concentrate where vehicle speeds meet foot traffic. Intersections near highway frontage roads, major transit centers, entertainment areas, schools, and wide multilane roads with short signal timing can be especially risky.

A person walking has no protective barrier, like a seat belt or airbag. When struck, the body takes the full force of impact, often hitting the bumper, then the front of the vehicle, and finally the pavement. This chain of impacts helps explain why pedestrian injuries are often so severe.
Common catastrophic injuries may include:
The emotional and financial impact is undeniable; some people report anxiety crossing streets, sleep disruption, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Families face new costs for transportation to appointments, mobility devices, home modifications, and unpaid time off.
Winning a pedestrian accident case requires proof that the driver had a duty to use reasonable care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries. We build that proof methodically.
Evidence collection and case building may involve:
Texas follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning responsibility for an accident can be divided among everyone involved. A judge and/or jury decides the percentage of fault for each party, and the victims can still recover compensation as long as they are less than 51 percent at fault. If the victim is partly at fault the compensation is reduced according to their share of responsibility. When insurance companies try to redirect blame, a Dallas pedestrian accident lawyer presents the evidence clearly, keeping the focus on unsafe driving and the circumstances that caused the collision.
Our trial lawyers will go the distance against corporations and insurance companies to win the maximum compensation in your case.
We stand ready to fight for you against the injustices caused by negligent actions throughout the state of Texas and across the Nation.
Compensation is intended to compensate for the losses the accident caused. In Dallas cases, that usually includes both economic and non-economic damages. The amount and type of compensation depend on how severe the harm is and how long its effects continue.
You may be able to pursue:
The calculation of compensation in Texas injury cases can vary depending on several factors. Courts and insurers review the medical evidence, wage losses, and personal impact to understand the extent of harm. They consider how long recovery may take, what treatment remains, and how the injury affects daily life. After reviewing this information, they apply comparative fault and insurance limits to determine a fair compensation amount that reflects the extent of the victim’s suffering.
Because every case is different, a demand package brings together records, bills, photos, and personal narratives to show the entire story. That evidence helps claim reviewers see beyond numbers and appreciate how the injury changed your life. A well-documented file allows a Dallas pedestrian accident lawyer to negotiate for a result that reflects the full extent of harm.
Results depend on facts, but past recoveries show how careful investigation and preparation can lead to meaningful outcomes for families:
We treat every file with care and attention, from intake through resolution. Our job is to present your story to the decision-maker with clarity, so liability and damages are difficult to ignore.
The statute of limitations sets the filing deadline for lawsuits. Under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, most personal injury and wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date the claim accrues. A late claim can prevent recovery regardless of the claim’s merits.
There are limited exceptions, such as claims on behalf of minors or situations where an at-fault party is absent from the state for a time. The details matter, which is why speaking with a Dallas pedestrian accident lawyer early on helps preserve options and allows time to locate video, witnesses, and roadway data before it disappears.
