No-Nonsense Help After An Accident
Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Serving Burnet County, Texas
Fighting for Injured Pedestrians in Burnet, Marble Falls, Bertram & Nearby Communities
When a vehicle hits a pedestrian, the results are almost always devastating. Unlike drivers, pedestrians have no protection from the force of an impact. Even a low-speed collision can cause life-altering injuries or wrongful death.
If you or someone you love has been hit by a car in Burnet County, the Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker is here to help. We represent pedestrians who have been seriously injured due to negligent or reckless drivers. Our team is committed to helping you recover compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term needs.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Burnet County
Pedestrian accidents often happen because a driver is careless, distracted, or simply not paying attention to their surroundings. Common causes include:
Failure to yield at crosswalks or intersections
Distracted driving (texting, GPS use, etc.)
Speeding or reckless driving
Running red lights or stop signs
Driving under the influence (DWI)
Poor visibility or nighttime driving without headlights
Backing out of driveways or parking lots without checking for pedestrians
These accidents frequently occur in downtown areas, near schools, parking lots, residential neighborhoods, or along US-281, SH-29, and FM roads where pedestrian crossings are limited or unmarked.
Injuries Commonly Suffered by Pedestrians
Pedestrians are incredibly vulnerable in a crash. Without airbags, seatbelts, or metal frames to protect them, they often suffer:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
Broken bones and fractures
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Lacerations and road rash
Disfigurement or permanent disability
Wrongful death
In many cases, the pedestrian is thrown several feet upon impact or pinned underneath the vehicle — adding to the severity of the trauma.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Burnet County
If you've been struck by a vehicle, it's critical to:
Call 911 immediately to report the incident and seek medical help.
Document the scene — photos, video, and witness statements can be crucial.
Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters until you’ve consulted an attorney.
Follow all medical advice and keep copies of your medical records.
Contact a pedestrian accident lawyer to protect your rights and start building your claim.
We offer free consultations and can advise you on what steps to take next. The earlier you involve legal counsel, the better we can preserve evidence and protect your interests.
Seeking Compensation for a Pedestrian Injury
If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Emergency care and hospital bills
Follow-up visits, physical therapy, and long-term treatment
Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional trauma
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death damages (for surviving families)
Insurance companies often try to blame the pedestrian — even when the driver was clearly at fault. We know their tactics, and we don’t let them get away with lowball settlements.
