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.
⚖️ Legal Information
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.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1Can 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.
2What 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.
3What 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.
