Dallas police investigate early morning accident after train strikes pedestrian
Chapter 552 of the Texas Transportation Code sets out the rules for pedestrians and the drivers who share the road with them. When someone is hurt near a roadway or crossing, investigators look at whether those duties were followed. Which rules apply to a train collision depends on the facts, including where the person was and who operated the train.
Texas follows a proportionate responsibility rule under Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33. A injured person’s recovery can be reduced by their share of fault, and barred if it is greater than 50 percent. This is why evidence gathered early, such as video, train data and witness accounts, can matter. Injured people can talk to a lawyer about their options, with no fees or costs unless we win.
This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
