Waco police identify man struck, killed by driver of Dodge Ram on Valley Mills
Texas Transportation Code Chapter 552 governs pedestrians and drivers. Section 552.008 requires a driver to exercise due care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian on a roadway, and to give warning by sounding the horn when necessary. A driver who fails to use due care may be found negligent.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71 allows certain surviving family members to bring a wrongful death claim when a death is caused by another’s negligence. Chapter 33 applies proportionate responsibility, which can reduce recovery based on each party’s share of fault.
