Understanding Your Rights as a Pedestrian
As a pedestrian in Texas, you have specific rights designed to protect your safety on the roads. Texas law mandates that drivers yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections, regardless of whether the crosswalk is marked. Additionally, when a pedestrian is crossing a road within a crosswalk and on the same side as the driver’s lane, drivers must stop and allow the pedestrian to pass. These laws are in place to ensure that pedestrians can safely navigate urban and suburban environments without the fear of being struck by a vehicle.
However, despite these protections, accidents still occur, often due to driver negligence such as distracted driving, speeding, or failure to observe traffic signals. If you are hit by a vehicle while walking, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and other damages. This can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
