Overview

Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer serious injury with high medical costs. Liability can hinge on crosswalk laws, traffic signals, and driver inattention near schools and retail areas.

Why This Practice Area Matters

We analyze signal timing, crosswalk markings, surveillance video, and driver phone use. Yield laws and child pedestrian safety are common themes.

Common Causes

  • Failure to yield at crosswalks
  • Turning on red without checking walkers
  • Distracted driving near crosswalks
  • Speeding in school zones
  • Backing out of parking spaces without looking
  • Driving under the influence

Compensation You May Recover

  • Trauma care and surgeries
  • Rehabilitation and mobility aids
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Long-term care needs

Case Guide

Pedestrian cases require fast evidence preservation—intersection cameras delete footage on a schedule.

Who This Is For

Walkers, joggers, and children hit in crosswalks, parking lots, or on neighborhood streets.

What To Expect In The Process

  1. Locate video and 911 audio
  2. Interview witnesses
  3. Document traumatic brain or orthopedic injuries
  4. Present demand to driver and UM insurers

Estimated timeline: Serious injury pedestrian cases often take 9–24 months.

Evidence Checklist

  • Ambulance run report
  • Crosswalk / signal documentation
  • Photos of impact area
  • School zone signage if applicable

Mistakes To Avoid

  • Waiting too long to find surveillance footage
  • Underestimating future mobility limitations

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I was not in a marked crosswalk?

You may still have a claim. Georgia comparative fault rules will consider whether the driver had time to avoid you and whether you exercised reasonable care.

Can a hit-and-run pedestrian claim succeed?

Sometimes, through uninsured motorist coverage if you carry it and timely report the incident to law enforcement and your insurer as required.
