Pedestrian accident cases often involve severe injuries and right-of-way disputes. Choose a lawyer experienced in proving driver negligence and handling serious injury claims.
Pedestrian Cases Often Involve Serious Injuries
Because pedestrians have no protection, injuries often include:
- Brain trauma
- Spinal injuries
- Broken bones
- Permanent mobility issues
You want a lawyer comfortable handling high-impact cases.
Right-of-Way Laws Matter
Ask whether the attorney understands:
- Georgia crosswalk laws
- Turning vehicle liability
- Comparative negligence rules
These details can determine fault.
Experience With Insurance Pushback
Insurance companies often argue:
- The pedestrian was distracted
- The pedestrian was outside a crosswalk
- The driver could not avoid impact
An experienced attorney knows how to counter these claims.
Questions to Ask
- How do you prove driver negligence?
- Do you work with accident reconstruction experts?
- How do you calculate long-term damages?
