Is there a common type of fatal pedestrian accident?

Yes, there is a most common type of fatal pedestrian accident. Over 85 percent of pedestrians killed were struck by the front of a vehicle. However, in the case of an accident involving a large truck or bus, the pedestrian is more likely to be hit on the left or right side or by the rear of the vehicle.

There are a number of laws in Texas aimed at protecting pedestrians from negligent drivers. If you have been the victim of a pedestrian accident, seek legal advice to determine your rights.
