Texas Pedestrian Accident Attorney Helping Injured Walkers In Houston

Last updated on October 22, 2026

A distracted driver who ignores a crosswalk can leave you with serious injuries and growing bills. I am attorney Rafael Quesada, a Texas pedestrian accident lawyer, and my practice at RQ Law Group works only with injured people. I bring almost 10 years of legal work to every claim I take on.

Who Is At Fault In A Texas Pedestrian Accident?

Texas Transportation Code Chapter 552 sets the rules for who goes first. Drivers must let people on foot cross in crosswalks without signals and must take care not to hit anyone walking. Walk signals control crossings at intersections with lights, while people crossing in the middle of a block must usually let cars go first.

Under Texas pedestrian injury law, your payment goes down by your share of the blame. If you are more than 50% at fault, you get nothing.

What To Do After Being Hit By A Car As A Pedestrian In Texas

Texas pedestrian accidents leave people shaken. If you are able, take these steps:

  • Seek medical care: Some injuries, like a traumatic brain injury, surface days later.
  • Call 911: Officers document the crash in a police crash report (CR-3).
  • Photograph the scene: Capture the vehicle, crosswalk, signals and your injuries.
  • Get witness contact information: Bystanders can confirm who had the right-of-way.
  • Avoid recorded statements to insurers: An insurance adjuster can use your words to shift blame onto you.

As your Texas pedestrian accident attorney, I can investigate the crash and gather surveillance footage and the CR-3 report. I then push back when insurers blame you.

Texas Pedestrian Accident Deadlines And Compensation

You generally have two years from the crash to file a lawsuit. If a government vehicle or dangerous road condition is involved, written notice may be due within six months or less.

A Texas personal injury claim can cover medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering. Families who lost someone can pursue a wrongful death claim.
