Partial Fault Pedestrian Accident

Question: Can the pedestrian be partially at fault in a pedestrian accident?

Answer:

I get asked all the time, what if I was partially at fault? They say, “I was crossing the street, I didn’t look both ways, and somebody ran into me.” Maybe you were partially at fault; maybe you weren’t. That needs to be investigated.

The way the law works in Texas is, ultimately, you have to determine and decide who was more at fault. If that other person was more at fault than you, then they’re responsible, and they can be held accountable for all the injuries you suffered.
