If you have been injured while on foot in an accident caused by a driver, your best course of action is to consult with knowledgeable Dallas pedestrian accident attorneys as soon as possible. You may be entitled to pursue a claim for damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and other losses.

If you were injured in a pedestrian accident after being struck by a hit-and-run driver or the at-fault driver had no insurance or too little, you may still be able to recover compensation through the uninsured / underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own auto policy. UM/UIM coverage may apply even if you were not in a vehicle when you were hit, and it may also extend to family members.

At Kraft & Associates, P.C., we provide an initial claim review and legal advice without charge or further obligation. Our Texas pedestrian accident lawyers will analyze your case and advise you as to whether you may be entitled to compensation.
