When the Crosswalk Fails You.

In Houston, a walk shouldn't be a gamble. We hold negligent motorists accountable in Harris County.

Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Houston

Houston's sprawling road network was built for vehicles, not pedestrians. When a negligent driver strikes someone on foot, the consequences are catastrophic: broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and in the worst cases, death.

A pedestrian has zero protection against a 4,000-pound vehicle. The injuries are almost always severe, the medical bills astronomical, and the recovery timeline measured in months or years. Insurance companies know this, and they will deploy every tactic to minimize your claim.

At Mehdipour & Mehdipour, we understand the physics of these collisions and the legal frameworks that protect you. We preserve surveillance footage, reconstruct the accident scene, and build an airtight case that forces insurers to pay what your injuries actually demand.

How We Handle Your Case

01. Immediate Triage

We secure medical referrals to top Houston specialists, preserve crosswalk surveillance footage, and document the scene before evidence disappears.

02. The Investigation

Our team reconstructs the accident using traffic camera data, witness interviews, and expert analysis to establish the driver's negligence beyond question.

03. Aggressive Negotiation

We build a comprehensive demand package quantifying every dollar of your medical costs, lost wages, pain, and diminished quality of life.

04. Trial-Ready Litigation

If the insurer won't pay fair value, we take them to court. Our willingness to litigate is why insurers take our demands seriously.

Key Considerations

• Document everything at the scene if physically able: photos, witness contact info, the driver's information
• Seek immediate medical attention even if injuries seem minor; internal injuries and concussions can take days to manifest
• Do not accept any settlement offer from an insurance company without legal review
• Texas's comparative negligence laws mean even partial fault doesn't eliminate your right to compensation
• Surveillance footage from nearby businesses is often deleted within 72 hours, so time is critical

Why Mehdipour & Mehdipour

• Capital-backed litigation resources to fight billion-dollar insurance companies
• Direct attorney communication. You'll never be passed to a case manager
• Deep knowledge of Houston's most dangerous intersections and corridors
• Proven track record in Harris County courts
• $0 fee unless we win your case

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I was jaywalking when I was hit?

Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Even if you share some fault, you may still recover damages as long as your responsibility is under 51%. We analyze every detail to minimize any contributory fault assigned to you.

How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in Texas?

Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. However, critical evidence like surveillance footage can be deleted within days. Contact us immediately to preserve your case.

What compensation can I recover?

Pedestrian accident victims can recover medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, and physical impairment.

Do I need a lawyer if the driver's insurance contacted me?

Absolutely. Insurance adjusters contact you early specifically to get you to accept a lowball settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Never give a recorded statement without legal counsel.
