Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Georgia
Holding negligent drivers accountable for devastating pedestrian injuries.
Pedestrians Have No Protection When Struck by Vehicles
When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the results are almost always catastrophic. Unlike vehicle occupants, pedestrians have no airbags, seat belts, or metal frame to absorb impact. The injuries—traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, internal bleeding—often require extensive medical treatment and can result in permanent disability or death.
I work to hold negligent drivers accountable and recover full compensation for pedestrian accident victims in Alpharetta, Cobb County, Fulton County, and throughout Georgia. This includes compensation for immediate medical care, long-term rehabilitation, lost income, and the profound impact these injuries have on your quality of life.
As a licensed Engineer-in-Training, I can analyze accident reconstruction evidence, vehicle speed calculations, and sight-line analysis to prove exactly how the driver's negligence caused your injuries.
Common Pedestrian Accident Scenarios
- Crosswalk accidents
Drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians in marked or unmarked crosswalks.
- Distracted driving
Drivers texting or otherwise distracted who don't see pedestrians until it's too late.
- Backing accidents
Drivers in parking lots or driveways who fail to check for pedestrians behind their vehicle.
- Turning vehicle accidents
Drivers making left or right turns who focus on traffic and miss pedestrians in the crosswalk.
- Drunk or impaired drivers
Impaired drivers with delayed reaction times who cannot stop in time to avoid pedestrians.
Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Victims
- •Emergency and ongoing medical care — surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation
- •Future medical expenses — ongoing treatment, therapy, medical equipment
- •Lost wages — income lost during recovery
- •Diminished earning capacity — if injuries prevent returning to your previous work
- •Pain and suffering — physical pain and emotional trauma
- •Loss of enjoyment of life — impact on daily activities and quality of life
- •Wrongful death damages — for families who have lost a loved one
Georgia's Comparative Negligence Law
Insurance companies often try to blame pedestrians for accidents—claiming you weren't in a crosswalk, were wearing dark clothing, or were distracted. Under Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault. I fight to minimize any fault assigned to you and maximize your recovery.
