Protect Your Rights with Help from a McAllen Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Partner with a Texas car accident lawyer as soon as possible after the collision. Your attorney can help you sort through the applicable insurance policies and start building a case against the at-fault party or parties. No two accidents are the same, and a personal injury attorney is in the best position to protect your interests no matter your circumstances. For example:
- If the accident was a hit-and-run, your uninsured / underinsured auto insurance may cover you. Texas requires all drivers to carry this type of auto insurance, but not every policy covers policyholders who are hit as pedestrians or cyclists. Your attorney will review your policy carefully to ensure your insurance company treats you fairly.
- You may bear no fault at all for the accident. As a pedestrian following the rules, you have the right to hold drivers accountable for violating your right to safety. Your attorney will gather evidence to prove the responsibility of the at-fault party in order for you to obtain financial compensation.
- You may bear some fault for the collision. The Texas Transportation Code includes laws governing pedestrians’ road-sharing behaviors and regulations for cyclists. Since Texas follows a modified comparative fault system for personal injury cases, your percentage of blame determines your eligibility to collect damages and can lead to a reduction in compensation. Your attorney will fight to protect you from unwarranted accusations.
Your lawyer will handle all conversations with insurance representatives and law enforcement and will compile comprehensive evidence to support your claim.
