What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Chapter 552 sets out the rules for pedestrians and drivers. Section 552.008 requires a driver to exercise due care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian on a roadway. Whether a driver met that duty is a question investigators and, if needed, a court will examine based on the evidence.

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 71 allows certain surviving family members to bring a wrongful death claim when a person dies because of another’s wrongful act or neglect. Families have limited time to act, so they should speak with a lawyer early. Beverly Law handles these cases with no fee unless we win.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
