Pedestrian Accidents in San Antonio
Being injured in a pedestrian accident can be very overwhelming. Every year in Texas, more than 7,000 people are hospitalized due to being struck by trucks, SUVs, cars, and other vehicles. The elderly and young children are the most likely to sustain serious and life-threatening injuries. Their fragile stature leaves them vulnerable to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and multiple other injuries that demand expensive medical treatment.
Attempting to comfort an injured person is an emotionally challenging time for families. It is especially disheartening when people are injured as a result of another person’s negligence.
