Fort Worth Pedestrian Accident Attorney Near You

Serving Injured Pedestrians Throughout Texas

Pedestrians have no protection when a vehicle strikes them. No airbags, no seatbelts, no steel frame between them and the impact. When a car, truck, or SUV hits a pedestrian in Fort Worth, the injuries are almost always severe — broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal injuries, and death. Yet insurance companies routinely attempt to blame the pedestrian for the accident, reducing or eliminating the compensation victims deserve.

Attorney Paul Previte fights for pedestrian accident victims throughout Fort Worth and North Texas. He is a former prosecutor and former judge with over 30 years of trial experience who knows how to establish driver fault clearly, counter bias against pedestrians, and maximize recovery for seriously injured clients. He handles every case personally and is not afraid to take your case to a Tarrant County jury.

Why Pedestrian Accident Cases Are Challenging

Pedestrian accident cases present unique challenges that require experienced legal representation.

Insurance companies aggressively look for ways to blame the pedestrian. Jaywalking, distraction, dark clothing, failure to use a crosswalk — adjusters will use any argument available to shift fault to the victim and reduce what they pay. Under Texas modified comparative fault rules, if you are found more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing. Protecting your right to full compensation requires an attorney who can counter these arguments with evidence.

Evidence disappears quickly. Skid marks fade, surveillance footage gets overwritten, and witnesses move on. The sooner you have an attorney preserving evidence and documenting the scene, the stronger your case becomes.

Serious injuries mean serious medical costs. Pedestrian accident victims often face emergency surgery, extended hospitalization, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Calculating the full value of these cases requires medical experts, life care planners, and economic experts.

Common Causes of Fort Worth Pedestrian Accidents

  • Distracted driving — texting, phone use, and inattention are the leading causes
  • Failure to yield at crosswalks and intersections
  • Running red lights and stop signs
  • Drunk and impaired driving
  • Speeding in residential and school zones
  • Backing accidents in parking lots
  • Turning vehicles failing to check for pedestrians
  • Poor visibility conditions — inadequate street lighting
  • Road construction creating hazardous pedestrian conditions

High-Risk Locations for Pedestrian Accidents in Fort Worth

Pedestrian accidents in Fort Worth are concentrated in areas with heavy foot traffic and high vehicle speeds. Downtown Fort Worth, the Near Southside, the Cultural District, and areas around TCU and other educational institutions see elevated pedestrian accident rates. Major intersections along Camp Bowie Boulevard, University Drive, Berry Street, and Magnolia Avenue require particular caution. If you were injured at any of these locations or anywhere else in Tarrant County, Paul Previte can help.

What You Can Recover

A seriously injured pedestrian in Fort Worth may recover all past and future medical expenses, lost wages and lost earning capacity, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, and in cases involving fatalities, wrongful death damages for surviving family members. The value of serious pedestrian accident cases frequently reaches six and seven figures.

Texas Pedestrian Laws and Your Rights

Texas law gives pedestrians the right of way in marked crosswalks and at intersections. Drivers are required to exercise due care to avoid colliding with pedestrians regardless of where they are crossing. Even if a pedestrian was not in a crosswalk, a driver who had time to avoid the collision and failed to do so may still be liable. Paul Previte knows Texas traffic law and uses it to build the strongest possible case for his clients.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pedestrian Accidents

Q: What if I was not in a crosswalk when I was hit? Crossing outside a crosswalk does not automatically eliminate your right to compensation. Texas law requires drivers to exercise due care to avoid hitting pedestrians regardless of location. Your recovery may be reduced based on comparative fault, but it is not necessarily eliminated.

Q: What if the driver claims they did not see me? Failure to see a pedestrian who was visible is negligence. Drivers have a duty to maintain a proper lookout. Paul Previte uses accident reconstruction experts to establish what the driver should have seen and when.

Q: How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident lawsuit in Texas? Generally two years from the date of the accident under the Texas statute of limitations. Contact our office immediately to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

Q: What if the pedestrian accident was hit and run? If the driver fled the scene, you may still have options through your own uninsured motorist coverage. Paul Previte will identify every available source of compensation for your injuries.
