Trusted Pedestrian Accident Attorneys in Beaumont, Texas
Were You Injured In A Pedestrian Accident in Beaumont?
At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our Beaumont pedestrian accident lawyers know that the very mention of someone getting hit by a vehicle while traveling on foot evokes a catastrophic image. And it should. Pedestrians have little to no protection against a much larger vehicle during a traffic collision, and often never see the accident coming.
Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents are occurring too often. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 6,516 pedestrians were killed and an estimated 55,000 pedestrians were injured nationwide last year. In Texas, according to TDOT, 824 pedestrians were killed throughout the state last year — a 15.24% increase from the previous year.
If you or someone you love has been hurt or lost their life while traveling on foot, our Jefferson County pedestrian accident, injury, and fatality attorneys want to ensure your story is not only told, but heard by the insurance company, so you can pursue the financial recovery you need to get your life back.
Our skilled legal staff offers services in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin because we believe in inclusion, fairness, and justice. It is only possible to successfully represent the people in our communities when we can successfully represent all people.

Why Is There Such a Noticeable Increase in Pedestrian Accidents in Texas?
The U.S. saw a 30-year high in pedestrian accidents last year, and experts are citing a very common reason for these injurious and deadly crashes: Distracted driving. With the overwhelming use of cellphones and other onboard electronics behind the wheel, motorists are simply not keeping their eyes on the road or their hands on the wheel while driving.
Even though it is against the law to send or receive electronic messages while driving in Texas, it is nearly impossible to travel on the interstates, city streets, or rural roads without witnessing a driver looking down at his or her phone. This dangerous activity directly corresponds to a rise in pedestrian accidents here in Texas and across the nation.
Some of the other common causes of pedestrian accidents in Texas include, but are not limited to:
- Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
- Failing to Obey Traffic Signs and Signals
- Failing to Stop or Yield to Pedestrian Right of Way, including Crosswalks
- Fatigued Driving
- Making Improper Turns
- Speeding or Reckless Driving

I liked how Steve explained everything, so I knew what I was getting in to. Steve got me what I deserved in no time. I would recommend him to anyone.
Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
