Protecting the Rights of Injured Pedestrians Across Houston

Pedestrians are completely exposed and defenseless when struck by a vehicle. These crashes often cause catastrophic injuries, long-term disabilities, or even death — all in an instant.
At The Lakhani Law Firm, we stand up for pedestrians injured by careless or reckless drivers. We fight to hold drivers accountable and secure the compensation victims and their families deserve.

Compassionate Representation, Relentless Advocacy

We understand how devastating these accidents are — physically, emotionally, and financially. Our team treats every client with compassion and respect while aggressively pursuing justice against negligent drivers and the insurance companies that defend them.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Texas

Most pedestrian crashes are preventable and happen because drivers fail to pay attention. Some of the most common causes include:

• Distracted driving (texting, phone use, eating behind the wheel)
• Speeding through residential or school zones
• Failing to yield at crosswalks or intersections
• Running red lights or stop signs
• Impaired driving (alcohol or drugs)
• Backing up without checking for pedestrians
• Poor visibility, low lighting, or weather-related hazards

We conduct thorough investigations, collect surveillance footage, review police reports, and speak to witnesses to prove liability and protect your claim.

Common Injuries From Pedestrian Accidents

Because pedestrians have no protection against the impact of a vehicle, these accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Multiple fractures and broken bones
• Internal organ damage or bleeding
• Severe lacerations, road rash, or disfigurement
• Crush injuries or amputations
• Emotional trauma and post-traumatic stress

We work closely with medical experts to fully document the long-term effects of these injuries on your health, independence, and quality of life.

What You May Be Entitled to Recover

If a negligent driver hit you or someone you love, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost income and loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Long-term care and rehabilitation costs
• Emotional distress and diminished quality of life

We fight for the full value of your case — not the quick settlement insurance companies may try to push on you.

What to Do Immediately After a Pedestrian Accident

The steps you take after a pedestrian crash can make a major difference in your case. If you’re involved in one:

1. Call 911 – Report the crash and request medical help if anyone is injured.
2. Stay safe – Move out of traffic if possible, but remain at the scene.
3. Get driver information – Collect the driver’s name, license, contact, and insurance details.
4. Document the scene – Take photos of the vehicle, skid marks, road conditions, and visible injuries.
5. Gather witnesses – If anyone saw the crash, get their names and contact information.
6. Get medical care – See a doctor immediately, even if you feel okay.
7. Contact an attorney – Insurance companies often try to blame pedestrians. Having a lawyer early can protect your rights.

Our team can quickly preserve evidence, handle all communication with insurers, and fight for the justice you deserve.
