<\/a>Brodrick Johnson died after he was struck by a vehicle while crossing Saratoga Boulevard early Monday in Corpus Christi.<\/p>\n\nOfficers were dispatched to the 3900 block of Saratoga Boulevard around 4:49 a.m. and located a man in the roadway. Corpus Christi Fire Department medics provided aid and transported him to a local hospital.<\/p>\n
\nAuthorities said that Brodrick Johnson, 35, was crossing Saratoga Boulevard when he was struck by a westbound vehicle. He later succumbed to injuries.<\/p>\n
\nThe driver of the vehicle stayed at the scene to cooperate with investigators.<\/p>\n
\nThe intersection of Weber Road and Saratoga Boulevard was shut down during the investigation.<\/p>\n
\nThe cause of the collision remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nTexas recorded 808 pedestrian fatalities and 5,924 pedestrian-involved crashes in 2023, representing a 22% increase in pedestrian deaths from 2019-2023, according to TxDOT data.<\/p>\n
\nAlthough pedestrians are involved in only 1% of all Texas traffic crashes, they account for 19% of all roadway deaths. The leading causes include drivers failing to yield right-of-way and driver inattention.<\/p>\n
\nThe Governors Highway Safety Association says one reason for the increase is many people are driving SUVs and pickups and it’s harder for them to see pedestrians. This is part of a national trend that’s seen a nearly 60% increase in pedestrian fatalities since 2013.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cRoad conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,\u201d said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAn accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,\u201d said Bond, an experienced pedestrian attorney.\u00a0<\/p>\n
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt is almost always a driver\u2019s duty to yield to any pedestrian,\u201d said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. The family of Brodrick Johnson may be entitled to a wrongful death claim.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFamily members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of income and companionship, pain and suffering, funeral expenses, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident,\u201d said Formica.<\/p>\n
\nServing as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide a family through this difficult time while protecting their rights.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cInsurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth,\u201d Formica noted. \u201cHowever, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their client to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.\u201d<\/p>\n
