IMPORTANT INITIAL ADVICE!

If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident that was caused by a motorist’s negligence, your case will be unique to you, but there are several important steps that everyone in you challenging situation should take, including:

  • Seek the immediate medical care that you need. Pedestrians tend to suffer very serious injuries, and even if you don’t think you were seriously injured, the stakes are too high not to err on the side of caution.
  • Consult with an experienced Augusta pedestrian accident attorney as soon as possible. 
  • Don’t deviate from your doctor’s instructions and advice and attend all scheduled appointments. 

You should also keep in mind that the insurance company is highly invested in making money and is looking for any excuse to limit your settlement. Often, the statements made by claimants – regardless of how innocent they may be – come back to haunt them during negotiations.

This is why it’s always a good idea to let your accomplished personal injury attorney do the talking for you and to take a break from social media while you’re at it.

WHAT'S YOUR CASE WORTH?

DEADLINES

Like other states, Georgia has a statute of limitations for pedestrian accident claims, which means they set a time limit for filing pedestrian accident lawsuits.

Because you have only two years from the date of the accident to sue the at-fault driver and because these injury claims tend to be complex, it’s in your best interest to consult with a formidable personal injury attorney in Augusta sooner rather than later.

GATHERING EVIDENCE

Successful pedestrian accident cases are predicated on evidence, much of which is gathered at the time of the accident. if your injuries stop you from participating in evidence gathering, bystanders and the attending authorities are sure to do so on your behalf.

The kind of evidence that can make or break a personal injury claim like yours include:

  • Eyewitness testimony
  • Accident scene photos and videos
  • Dashcam and security camera footage
  • The police report and any tickets issued by the attending officer – along with any photos they take
  • The testimony of expert witnesses
  • Accident recreation models
  • Your own account of how the accident happened and how your injuries have affected your life
  • your doctor’s report regarding your injuries and your expected health outcome

While you focus on the critical task of tending to your recovery, our pedestrian accident lawyer representing you will compile the evidence necessary to build your strongest claim.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO PAY?

Many pedestrian accident victims are concerned about the cost of hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer, but you needn’t worry.

Our pedestrian accident attorneys work on contingency, which means we don’t get paid unless – and until – our clients’ claims are successfully resolved. At that point, we will receive a prearranged percentage of your settlement or court award. And if your claim is not successful, you won’t pay any legal fees.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS IN AUGUSTA

There are specific Georgia pedestrian laws that guide pedestrian law claims.

PEDESTRIAN LAWS IN GEORGIA

Georgia laws are very clear when it comes to pedestrians. In fact, motorists must stop – and must stay stopped – for pedestrians in crosswalks. It’s not enough simply to yield the right of way to them.

This means that motorists can’t sneak around pedestrians, drive around pedestrians, or cut pedestrians off in crosswalks – even when there’s room to do so. When pedestrians are in cross walks, motorists must not only yield the right of way to them but must also come to complete stops. 

WHAT ABOUT JAYWALKING?

While Georgia doesn’t have a specific law that addresses jaywalking, pedestrians generally have the right to cross the street outside of a crosswalk as long as they yield to traffic. However, when adjacent streets have working traffic signals at their crosswalks, pedestrians are required to use them.

It is only legal for pedestrians to cross intersections diagonally when it is done in accordance with a traffic-control device or officer. Finally, if a pedestrian darts into the road when it is not safe to do so and when an oncoming vehicle doesn’t have time to safely avoid them, the motorist who hits them is unlikely to be found liable. 

WHO IS LIABLE FOR A PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT IN GEORGIA?

Generally, pedestrians have the right of way, which means that – unless they flout the state’s pedestrian laws – motorists are typically liable for pedestrian accidents. Injured pedestrians in Augusta can generally seek compensation for their legal damages from the negligent drivers who strike them.
