Pedestrian Accident Injury Treatment You Cannot Walk To
When the injuries are in your legs and pelvis, getting to a clinic is not difficult, it is impossible. So we stopped asking. Clinicians come to your home across Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston, with no upfront cost under a letter of protection.
WHY THESE INJURIES ARE DIFFERENT
Two impacts, not one
A pedestrian struck by a vehicle is usually hit twice. The bumper takes the legs first, fracturing the tibia, fibula or knee. The body then folds onto the hood, injuring the pelvis, hip, ribs or arm. The second impact comes when the person lands, and that is where most head injuries happen. Pedestrian car accident injuries therefore cluster in the lower limbs and the skull at the same time, which is a combination almost unique to this type of collision. Pedestrian accident injury treatment has to work across all of it at once, often while the patient is non weight bearing on one or both legs and still managing concussion symptoms.
Chiropractor at home
Weight bearing progression, gait retraining and strength work for the leg, hip and pelvis, advanced strictly on your surgeon’s restrictions.
Physical therapy at home
Safe transfers, bathing, dressing and getting from bed to bathroom while on crutches, a walker or a chair.
Occupational therapy at home
Treatment for the spine, neck and shoulders that absorbed the fall, adapted around fractures, fixation and healing tissue.
WHERE RECOVERY ACTUALLY HAPPENS
Your home becomes the hardest part
Orthopedic treatment for pedestrian accidents usually ends at the hospital door. The surgeon fixes the fracture, the discharge paperwork says to follow up, and then the patient faces a staircase they cannot climb, a bathroom they cannot reach and a bed they cannot get out of unaided. Most clinics never see any of this, because they only meet you once you have already solved it. Our occupational therapists assess the real obstacles in your own house, arrange assistive equipment, and rebuild those tasks in the rooms where they go wrong. It is also the clearest evidence of how a pedestrian accident injury changed daily life, which matters if a claim is open.
Three steps, and mobility is not one of them
Tell us what happened. One short call covering the collision, any surgery or hospital stay, and your current weight bearing status, with nothing to complete beforehand. We handle the billing. Your attorney’s office hears from us about the letter of protection, so care is paid from the settlement and no copay leaves your pocket while you are healing. No attorney yet? We explain the options before anything is signed. A clinician arrives, usually inside 48 hours, and treatment begins that visit. PIP, MedPay, health insurance and cash all work as well, and every session carries signed notes and an itemized statement.
ANSWERS FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES
What families ask when someone cannot walk
Most of these calls come from a relative rather than the patient. Here is what they ask first.
