Pedestrian Accidents Fewer Cases. More Attention.

Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Fort Worth

Every Case Prepared for Trial

Traffic incidents involving pedestrians are often catastrophic, even at low speeds. People struck while walking, jogging, crossing a street, or using a sidewalk often face traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, amputations, or other catastrophic injuries that take months or years to fully understand. In some cases, pedestrian accidents are fatal. Pedestrians are involved in only about 1% of all traffic crashes in Texas, yet they account for roughly 19% of all roadway fatalities.

A Fort Worth pedestrian accident claim can turn on details that don't arise in an ordinary vehicle collision: crosswalk right-of-way, traffic signals, sight lines, roadway conditions, and the pedestrian's location at impact. At Mizani Law Firm, we investigate those details and document how serious injuries affect medical care, employment, independence, and family life. When a crash is fatal, we also represent the family pursuing a claim on their loved one's behalf. Because photographs, video, witness information, and vehicle data can become harder to obtain as time passes, we recommend reaching out to our team as soon as possible. An early investigation gives us the best chance of preserving what actually happened.

Personal Attention & Proven Results

We limit the cases we accept so each client receives direct, attentive representation. We answer calls, return emails, and listen to concerns instead of routing injured people through a generic intake system.

We also prepare every case as though it could proceed to trial, which builds leverage when an insurer disputes fault, minimizes an injury, or makes an offer that doesn't reflect the evidence. That approach paid off in a Tarrant County motor vehicle case, where we secured a $487,737 unanimous jury verdict after the insurer's highest pretrial offer was just $50,000. This and our other results show what happens when we refuse to settle for less than what our clients deserve.

How We Investigate Pedestrian Crashes & Liability

Texas Transportation Code Chapter 552 governs pedestrian and sidewalk-user rights involving crosswalks, traffic signals, stop signs, sidewalks, and roadway crossings. At a crosswalk with no signal, Texas law generally requires a driver to stop and yield when a pedestrian is in the vehicle's half of the roadway or approaching closely enough to be in danger, subject to statutory exceptions.

Right-of-way is only part of the picture, though. Whether someone used a crosswalk doesn't automatically decide civil liability, since Texas proportionate responsibility rules allow fault to be allocated among multiple parties based on their conduct. Working out how those rules apply to a specific claim depends entirely on the evidence we're able to gather.

Our investigation may examine:

Crosswalk collisions: Signal timing, right-of-way, lane position, and witness accounts may clarify what happened.
Turning vehicles: Video and vehicle damage may show whether a driver failed to see someone crossing.
Distracted or impaired driving: Police records, witness statements, and other evidence may document unsafe conduct.
Hit-and-run crashes: Surveillance footage, vehicle debris, nearby business records, and witness descriptions may help identify the vehicle or driver.
Commercial vehicle crashes: The facts may raise questions about a driver, vehicle owner, employer, or carrier.
Parking lots and driveways: Visibility, vehicle movement, lighting, and property conditions may be relevant.

Insurance coverage adds another layer, since uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage may apply when a driver flees, lacks insurance, or carries insufficient coverage. We investigate every potential source of recovery without assuming any party is responsible before the evidence supports that conclusion, because a pedestrian recovering from serious injuries shouldn't also have to chase down who's going to pay for it.

Thanks to their dedication, I received a very fair settlement — all without having to go to court.
“I highly recommend The Mizani Law Firm! I was injured and needed legal help on short notice, and they interviewed me in person and thankfully stepped in to take my case. From start to finish, they were professional, compassionate, and truly fought for me.”

Compensation After a Serious Pedestrian Injury

Depending on the evidence, a pedestrian accident claim may seek compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain, disfigurement, disability, and loss of enjoyment of life. The damages available depend on the injury prognosis, insurance coverage, and other case-specific facts.

Medical documentation should address more than emergency treatment. Specialists, therapists, and other providers can help explain future care needs and how the injury affects work, independence, and daily activities, and we lean on that documentation to make sure a settlement or verdict reflects the full scope of what a client is dealing with. When an injury is catastrophic or a crash proves fatal, that same evidence supports a wrongful death claim brought by eligible family members or an estate representative under Texas law.

What to Expect During a Pedestrian Accident Claim

We begin by evaluating evidence from the crash, medical treatment, available insurance, lost income, future needs, and any allegation that the injured person contributed to the collision. Our investigation may include the police report, scene photographs, surveillance or traffic-camera footage, witness accounts, vehicle evidence, and medical records. From there, we handle insurer communications and prepare a documented demand based on the evidence of liability and damages.

If negotiations don't produce an appropriate resolution, we're prepared to continue through litigation, and we build every case from the start as if that's where it's headed.

Protecting Your Claim in the Days After a Crash

What you do in the first days and weeks after a pedestrian accident can directly affect the strength of your claim.

Important steps include:

Continue medically necessary treatment and follow your providers' instructions.
Keep bills, medical records, wage-loss documents, and crash-related correspondence.
Avoid giving a recorded statement before understanding who is requesting it and how it may be used.
Preserve photographs, clothing, damaged personal property, and witness contact information.
Use caution when posting information or images about the crash on social media.

These steps matter because the months after a serious pedestrian crash are often consumed by medical appointments, missed paychecks, and the slow work of recovery, and good documentation now protects a claim you may not be ready to focus on yet.

Deadlines & the Cost of Starting a Claim

Texas generally has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions and injuries resulting in death. Different notice requirements or deadlines may apply when a government entity is involved, and other rules may affect minors or claims arising from a death, so determining the actual deadline for a specific case requires a fact-specific review.

Consultations are free, and we work on a contingency basis, so clients pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for them. If you've been injured in a pedestrian accident in the Fort Worth area, you don't have to worry about finding money for a lawyer. If we take your case, we only get paid if you do.

Fort Worth District Safety Data

Regional data shows why lighting, visibility, roadway design, and driver attention matter when reconstructing a collision. A TxDOT Fort Worth District pedestrian safety profile reported 2,174 pedestrian crashes, 280 fatalities, and 514 serious injuries across the district from 2017 through 2021. The profile identified low-light conditions, reported failure to yield, and driver or pedestrian inattention among recorded crash factors.

You're generally not required to give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurer, and anything you say can later be used to dispute your claim. Our pedestrian injury firm in Fort Worth can review the request and speak with the insurer on your behalf before you say anything.
Texas generally allows two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, though shorter notice deadlines can apply if a government entity was involved, and different rules may apply for minors. Because evidence can disappear well before any deadline arrives, it's worth having your Fort Worth pedestrian accident claim reviewed as early as possible.
Texas's proportionate responsibility rules generally allow recovery as long as you're found less than 51% responsible for the crash, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to make sure any shared-fault argument from an insurer is supported by actual evidence rather than assumption.
A hit-and-run crash can often still be pursued through your own uninsured motorist coverage, even if the driver is never identified. We work with surveillance footage, debris evidence, and witness accounts to try to identify the driver, while also evaluating what coverage may already be available to you.
Crossing outside a marked or unmarked crosswalk doesn't automatically bar a claim, but it is a factor Texas's proportionate responsibility rules may weigh when allocating fault. Drivers still have a duty to exercise due care and watch for pedestrians regardless of where they're crossing. We investigate the full picture after a Fort Worth pedestrian accident, including vehicle speed, visibility, and driver attentiveness, rather than accepting an insurer's first take on fault.

every case, trial ready.
