Austin is an incredibly walkable city. From its downtown streets to the roads around St. Edward’s and the University of Texas, you are likely to see pedestrians on and near streets across town at all hours of the day and night. In fact, even some of the city’s most popular hiking and biking trails, such as the Lady Bird Lake running trail, are immediately adjacent to busy city streets.

While this overlap makes Austin a very active and fun city, it unfortunately exposes pedestrians to a very real threat: dangerous drivers. Although drivers are supposed to do everything possible to keep pedestrians safe while they are behind the wheel, the reality is that far too many pedestrians are injured and killed every year after being struck by careless, distracted, and aggressive drivers in Austin.

CAUSES OF PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS IN TEXAS

Even the seemingly smallest oversight by a motorist can result in an accident involving a pedestrian, and rarely does a pedestrian walk away from a collision with a car without significant injuries. Tragically, Austin pedestrians can suffer devastating injuries each year due to the following:

• Drunk driving
• Speeding
• Reckless driving
• Distracted driving

Sadly, it is usually pedestrians who are left to pay the price for a driver’s reckless actions, which is why it’s important to take legal action against individuals responsible for such inexcusable negligence. At the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., we’ll help you hold accountable parties legally responsible for their wrongdoing. Call us at (254) 938-6885 to learn more.
