Missouri City offers its residents many beautiful places to walk and explore. However, pedestrians have far fewer protections than drivers, making them more vulnerable to accidents and injuries. In fact, in 2021, 5,370 crashes in Texas involved pedestrians, according to the state’s Department of Transportation. Sometimes, no matter how cautious you are as a pedestrian, you end up in an accident due to someone else’s negligence.
At Mott & Moffett, we take every pedestrian accident claim seriously and treat each one with care and respect. Our mission is to hold at-fault parties accountable and seek the justice you deserve. With our personalized approach, we develop a legal plan that suits your needs and goals so that you can have the best chance of receiving just compensation. Our dedicated Missouri City pedestrian accident lawyers handle every aspect of your claim while you recover.
When you file a pedestrian accident claim against the at-fault party, you are responsible for fulfilling the burden of proof. This obligation means you have to present evidence that clearly demonstrates the following points:
We understand this may seem daunting, but we will do everything possible to collect as much evidence as possible and build an effective claim. Information like medical records, bills, witness testimony, video footage, and personal statements can all help prove the at-fault party caused the accident.
If you have suffered injuries in a pedestrian accident because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation, even if you were partially at fault for the incident. This is because Texas law uses a modified comparative negligence system when awarding damages, meaning each party involved receives a percentage of the responsibility for the accident. This percentage gets deducted from each party’s compensation.
For instance, if you are found to be 20% at fault for the accident, your damages will be reduced by 20%. Unfortunately, insurance companies may try to undermine your claim and assign you an unfair fault percentage. Our knowledgeable pedestrian accident lawyers understand these tactics and negotiate with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement.
Depending on the severity of your injuries and other facts of your claim, you may recover the following damages:
We can calculate your claim’s worth accurately to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
The aftermath of a pedestrian accident can be overwhelming and you may not know how to protect your rights. One of the first steps to take after a pedestrian accident is to contact a trustworthy pedestrian accident lawyer that will fight for you every step of the way. At Mott & Moffett, we handle every aspect of your claim, including the following:
Contacting a pedestrian accident lawyer after a pedestrian accident also ensures your claim gets filed on time. Texas law only gives victims two years from the date of the incident to file their claims. While this may seem like plenty of time, recovery and other delays can make it challenging to meet this deadline on your own. Our attentive team will work to file your claim swiftly so that you can receive compensation as soon as possible.
