CASE SUMMARY

PEDESTRIAN STRUCK BY CAR IN EL PASO, TX

After purchasing items from a home improvement store in El Paso, TX, our client was walking in front of the store back to his vehicle. As he crossed the street to the parking lot, a driver attempting to turn left onto the street failed to yield the right-of-way and hit our client with his vehicle.

Our attorney argued that the collision was caused by the negligent actions of the other driver, including:

• Failing to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian;
• Keeping an improper lookout;
• Traveling at an unreasonable speed given the circumstances;
• Making an untimely and improper application of her brakes;
• Exhibiting inadequate driver attention;
• Driving distracted;
• Taking improper evasive actions to avoid the collision; and
• Choosing to violate safety rules.

• medical expenses

• loss of earning capacity;
• emotional distress;
• pain and suffering; and

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Below are some frequently asked questions related to car accidents

Q: How do I know if I have a pedestrian accident case?

A: Whether or not you have a pedestrian accident case will depend on three factors.

1. You want to see whether or not you have liability facts. Liability facts allow you to hold the person who injured you responsible for your injuries.
2. You want to see whether or not you have sufficient damages that make it worth your time and hassle to go through with filing a claim for a personal injury. Damages include things like your medical bills from the injury, your lost wages, as well as your pain and suffering.
3. You want to see whether or not there is a source of recovery, which usually means some sort of insurance policy that will cover the negligent actions of the person who injured you.
4. If you are unsure whether or not you have all of these elements, talk to a personal injury lawyer.
