What the Law Says

Texas Transportation Code Section 552.008 requires drivers to exercise due care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian on a roadway. This duty applies even where a pedestrian may have had the right of way or may have been crossing outside a crosswalk. Whether a truck driver met that duty is a question investigators and, if necessary, a court would examine.

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33 sets out proportionate responsibility. Under it, a person’s recovery can be reduced by their percentage of responsibility and barred if it is greater than 50 percent. That is why evidence such as video, witness statements and police findings can matter after a pedestrian crash.

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