Houston pedestrian & bicycle accident lawyer.

Drivers almost always claim the pedestrian or cyclist 'came out of nowhere.' We prove otherwise with surveillance, traffic-engineering testimony, and accident reconstruction.

Quick answer: Texas drivers owe pedestrians and cyclists a duty of reasonable care at crosswalks, intersections, and marked lanes. Even a pedestrian crossing outside a crosswalk can recover if the driver could reasonably have avoided the collision.

How we work

Our process on a pedestrian & bicycle accident case.

01

Rapid scene capture

Pedestrian cases depend on video — we canvass nearby businesses for surveillance within 48 hours before footage is overwritten.

02

Traffic engineering analysis

Sight lines, signal timing, crosswalk markings. Engineers often reveal the driver could and should have seen you.

03

Hospital coordination

Pedestrian trauma is often catastrophic. We coordinate with rehab specialists, life-care planners, and vocational experts.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask about pedestrian & bicycle accident cases.

What if I wasn't in a crosswalk?

You can still recover. Texas applies comparative fault — you may be partly at fault, but drivers are still required to exercise reasonable care.

My child was hit — what's different?

Children under 5 cannot be contributorily negligent under Texas law. Children 5–13 are held to a lower standard than adults.
