Bicycle & pedestrian safety information in Georgia

Pedestrian accidents are common in Georgia. Due to the pedestrian’s exposure to the vehicle involved in the collision, severe to critical injuries often result.

If you or a loved one were involved in a pedestrian accident of any kind, it’s important that you reach out to an attorney to get the help you need right away.

Causes of Pedestrian Accidents:

There are many things that can cause the driver of a vehicle to collide with a pedestrian. For example, a driver can hit a pedestrian walking on the side of the road if they are not paying enough attention to their surroundings.

Other causes of pedestrian accidents can include:

• Using a cell phone, particularly driving while texting
• Running a red light when pedestrians are crossing the road
• Driving while intoxicated
• Making a right turn into a crosswalk

When a pedestrian accident is caused by the negligence or recklessness of the driver of the vehicle, the victim may be able to obtain financial compensation for their injuries and other damages that resulted from the accident.

Injuries Caused By Pedestrian Accidents:

The injuries that can occur as the result of a pedestrian accident tend to be more severe in nature than those sustained in traditional motor vehicle accidents.

Victims of pedestrian accidents often experience the following:

• Head and brain injuries
• Broken bones
• Limb amputation
• Severe internal organ damage
• Blood loss
• Death

Often, individuals who are injured in a pedestrian accident will need extensive medical care, including surgeries and/or physical therapy.

They are usually burdened with lost wages, and the emotional toll of being involved in such a serious accident can be exhausting.

Getting adequate compensation for the injuries and damages that have been caused by the accident is a priority, and you can start the process now by contacting a skilled Georgia pedestrian accident attorney.
