In San Antonio, vulnerable road users—pedestrians, motorcyclists, and horseback riders—face unique challenges navigating the bustling streets. Despite ordinances like §19-9 designed to protect them, these individuals often find themselves at risk due to the negligence of motor vehicle operators. When accidents happen, the legal aftermath can be overwhelming. That’s where Herrman & Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers come in.
Understanding the Law Is Crucial
San Antonio’s ordinance §19-9 lays out specific protections for vulnerable road users. For example:
- Motorists must vacate lanes or maintain safe distances—at least three feet for cars and six feet for trucks.
- Left turns require yielding to vulnerable road users when they are close enough to pose a hazard.
- Reckless behavior, such as harassing or intimidating a vulnerable road user, is prohibited.
These rules are in place to save lives, but not all drivers follow them. If you or a loved one has been injured because someone ignored these protections, you deserve justice—and compensation.
