Code §§ 552.001–552.012, both drivers and pedestrians have specific duties — drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and pedestrians must obey traffic signals and use crosswalks where available. Comparative fault under Chapter 33 applies; a pedestrian who was jaywalking may have their recovery reduced but is not barred unless more than 50% at fault.

Wrongful death claims (Chapter 71) allow the spouse, children, and parents to recover for loss of financial support, companionship, mental anguish, and funeral expenses.
