What Compensation Can I Recover After a Pedestrian Crash in San Antonio, TX?
After a pedestrian crash in San Antonio, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by your injuries. The amount available depends on how seriously the crash affected your health, finances, and daily life.
When insurance coverage applies, the driver’s liability policy may help pay for your losses. Your own auto insurance may also provide coverage while you are walking, depending on your policy and the circumstances of the crash.
If the driver has no insurance or cannot be identified, uninsured motorist coverage may provide another source of compensation. Underinsured motorist coverage may help when the driver’s policy limits are too low, and coverage through a household member’s policy may sometimes apply.
Because Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule, your share of responsibility can reduce the amount you recover. An insurer may claim that you contributed to the crash by crossing outside a crosswalk or stepping into traffic unexpectedly.
To help show what happened, keep the police report, photographs, witness contact information, and any nearby camera footage. This evidence can help establish how the crash occurred and may be especially useful when the driver leaves before police arrive.
Since Texas generally gives injured people two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, waiting too long may affect your ability to bring a case in court. Certain circumstances can change the deadline, so it is important to confirm how much time you have.
When an insurer places too much blame on you, a pedestrian accident lawyer can review the evidence and question how fault was assigned. An attorney can also explain how your share of fault may affect the compensation you can recover.
