Houston Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Protecting Injured Walkers

When Drivers Fail to Watch for Pedestrians

Pedestrians have little protection when hit by a vehicle. Injuries are often severe, leaving victims with long recoveries and costly medical care. At the Law Office of Frederick K. Wilson II, we fight for pedestrians injured in pedestrian accidents across Houston and surrounding areas, holding negligent drivers accountable and helping victims pursue the compensation they need.

Common Pedestrian Accident Scenarios

We represent clients in cases involving:
A pedestrian and a car are crossed out with a diagonal line.

Crosswalk accidents

Road sign: Y-shaped intersection ahead.

Drivers failing to yield at intersections

Sign prohibiting drinking and driving; a wine glass and car are crossed out.

Drunk or distracted drivers hitting pedestrians

Dry clean symbol with the letter P inside a circle.

Parking lot collisions

A black line drawing of a van with motion lines, indicating speed.

Speeding vehicles in residential neighborhoods

Each of these situations creates serious risks for pedestrians and requires careful investigation to prove negligence.

The Insurance Company Challenge

Insurers often argue that pedestrians were “not paying attention” or “outside of the crosswalk.” Frederick knows what insurance companies look for in these cases, because he trained adjusters for years before becoming a lawyer. That knowledge helps him push back against unfair claims and advocate for injured pedestrians.

Pedestrian Risks in Houston

Houston’s busy streets—like Westheimer Road, Main Street downtown, and roads near schools and shopping centers—see frequent pedestrian traffic and accidents. Frederick applies his local knowledge to represent pedestrians injured in the city as well as in nearby communities like Sugar Land, Katy, and The Woodlands.

FAQs

About Pedestrian Accident Claims

  • Do I still have a case if I wasn’t in a crosswalk?

    Possibly. Texas law still allows claims if a driver was negligent, even outside a crosswalk.

  • What damages can I recover?

    Medical expenses, lost wages, long-term care costs, and compensation for pain and suffering may all be included.

  • Will my case go to trial?

    Many pedestrian accident cases settle, but we prepare every claim as if it could be presented in court.
