When It Comes to Pedestrian Accidents, Minor Injuries Are Rare
Fender-benders may sometimes only result in a sore neck or a seatbelt bruise. But when it comes to pedestrian accidents, there are no seatbelts and there are no fenders; there is only metal against skin. For this reason, pedestrian accidents have much higher fatality rates than motor vehicle accidents alone.
Specifically, pedestrian accidents often result in these serious injuries:
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Crush injuries
- Lacerations
- Back, neck, and spine injuries
- Paralysis
- Catastrophic injuries
- Death
Bills for hospitalization and further medical treatments can pile up quickly, especially since many people lose wages while recovering. If your accident was not your fault, these bills are not your responsibility! Speak with an experienced Atlanta pedestrian attorney to find out who should be paying your accident-related expenses.

How Georgia Pedestrian Accidents Happen
Many pedestrian victims never contact an attorney because they worry that they were at fault for their accident – even though they have never looked into the matter, or even though they have a suspicion that something wasn’t right. In reality, drivers are the cause of a significant number of these tragic collisions.
Here are just some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents in which the pedestrian is not at fault:
- The driver did not obey traffic laws (including right-of-way laws, traffic lights, or crosswalks).
- The driver did not yield to a pedestrian.
- The driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- The driver was fatigued or asleep at the wheel.
- The driver was distracted.
- The driver simply “didn’t see” the pedestrian.
- The road or intersection was poorly designed or poorly signed.
- The city or state did not properly care for the roadway.

My attorney, David Van Sant and his law firm were outstanding in handling my personal injury case.
