Texas Law: Pedestrian Accident in Port Arthur

Pedestrian accident claims in Texas follow the two-year statute of limitations (§ 16.003). Under Tex. Transp. 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. There are no caps on compensatory damages in pedestrian accident cases. Wrongful death claims (Chapter 71) allow the spouse, children, and parents to recover for loss of financial support, companionship, mental anguish, and funeral expenses.
