      Is This Your Situation?

      This page is for walkers, joggers, and children hit in crosswalks, parking lots, or on neighborhood streets anywhere in Georgia.

      Overview

      Most pedestrian accident claims turn on who had the right of way and whether the driver was paying attention. We pull traffic camera footage, signal timing, and witness statements quickly, before evidence disappears.

      Liability Considerations

      Drivers owe pedestrians a duty of care, particularly near crosswalks, school zones, and parking lots. Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) means you can still recover even if you share some fault, as long as it's under 50%.

      • We move fast on surveillance footage before it's deleted
      • Free consultation, no fee unless we win
      • Direct attorney access — not a call center
      • Compassionate handling of child injury cases

      Protect Your Case

      What to Do Now

      1. Call 911 and get medical care immediately
      2. Stay where you are unless you're in danger
      3. Get the driver's insurance and contact information
      4. Ask nearby businesses if they have surveillance footage
      5. Call us before speaking with any insurance company

      Deadlines and Legal Framework

      Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) applies even if you weren't in a marked crosswalk — you can still recover as long as you're less than 50% at fault, with your award reduced by your share of responsibility.

      Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Case

      We see these missteps regularly in Bartow pedestrian accidents cases. Avoiding them protects your claim.

      1. Waiting too long to locate surveillance footage
      2. Delaying medical treatment
      3. Assuming you have no claim because you weren't in a crosswalk
      4. Speaking to insurers before calling us

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Can I recover damages if I wasn't in a marked crosswalk?

      +

      Often yes. Fault depends on the full picture, including whether the driver had time to see and avoid you and whether you exercised reasonable care.

      What if the driver says they didn't see me?

      +

      That doesn't excuse a driver from their duty to watch for pedestrians. We investigate lighting, speed, and attention to establish what really happened.

      What if my child was hit near school?

      +

      School-zone cases often involve reduced speed limits and heightened driver duties. We handle these with extra care given the sensitivity involved.
