If you've been hit by a car while walking in Midland, Texas, the path to recovery can be overwhelming with more than physical injuries—it also involves navigating complex legal battles and insurance claims.

Our team has decades of experience in personal injury law and understands the nuances of local traffic laws and pedestrian rights in Texas.

Midland’s lively growing population in West Texas, especially in areas like downtown, Midland College, and Midland Park Mall, means that pedestrian accidents are not uncommon. In Texas, pedestrians have the right of way at marked crosswalks and intersections, but this doesn’t always prevent accidents from occurring. Even if pedestrian safety rules are strictly adhered to, collisions still occur. Common causes of such accidents include distracted driving, speeding, and failing to yield to pedestrians.

• Determining Fault
  To pursue a personal injury / pedestrian accident case in Texas, the victim has to be less than 50% at-fault. The police report will provide the initial information about fault after an accident, but a lawyer will investigate thoroughly to determine all possible negligent parties (which may have been missed initially).
• Statute of Limitations
  In Texas, there is a two year limit for filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit (if you are the loved one seeking justice for a deceased family member).
• Negotiations
  Be prepared for negotiations, which will be handled by your chosen Midland attorney. In the meantime, don’t speak with the defendant’s insurance companies, and avoid admitting fault. It is also important to be patient during this time. Negotiation can be a lengthy process, but the end result will prove worthwhile.

The impact of being hit by a vehicle can lead to severe injuries such as fractures, soft tissue injuries, neck injuries, traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, and even fatalities. The emotional trauma after such an accident is also significant. Conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD are often experienced. It's essential for victims to seek immediate medical attention and focus first and foremost on their recovery. Once stability is reached and healing has begun, documenting your injuries and the accident scene can provide crucial evidence for your Midland TX pedestrian accident lawyer.
