People walk everywhere in Brownsville — across Boca Chica Boulevard, International Boulevard, and Southmost Road, near schools and shopping centers, and through busy parking lots. With border-crossing commerce, Port of Brownsville freight, and SpaceX Starbase traffic, drivers in Cameron County too often fail to yield, and a pedestrian struck by a vehicle almost always comes away with the more serious injuries.

The evidence that decides pedestrian accident claims
- Photos before repairs — vehicles, the scene, skid marks, and visible injuries, taken before anything is fixed or healed.
- Medical records from day one — the first visit ties the injury to the incident; gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected at the scene, because witnesses scatter quickly.
- Camera footage — dashcams, doorbells, and business cameras near the scene often recorded it, and most systems overwrite within days or weeks.
- Official reports — the report number is the key that opens the record later.
- A simple log — symptoms, missed work, and expenses, kept as they happen.
None of this requires deciding anything about lawyers — it just preserves the claim while the evidence still exists.

After you submit a free case review, your request is delivered to a participating Texas law firm — participating firms are paid advertisers, and each firm independently determines whether it can assist you. The firm may contact you to learn more and explain how Texas claims generally work. There is no cost to request a review, and submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What information to prepare

- Records of medical treatment you have received
- Insurance or employer information, as applicable
Why quick action matters in Texas
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters shorten that to 30–90 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
What if I was hit outside a crosswalk?
You may still have a claim. Texas's proportionate responsibility rule can reduce a recovery by your share of fault, but it only bars recovery if you were more than 50% at fault. A participating law firm can review what happened.
