Pedestrian Accidents Archives

When a Georgia car or truck driver is distracted or is going too fast, they can cause a serious pedestrian accident. Catastrophic injuries, including even death, can occur. It is important to get legal advice while the evidence is available, witnesses can be located and road conditions can be documented.

The number of pedestrian accidents in Georgia makes up a small percentage of all traffic accidents, but these have a higher percentage of deaths proportionately than other traffic accidents. And although pedestrian accidents have decreased within Atlanta in recent years, they have increased over 30% in Gwinnett and Clayton Counties and are up 10% in Dekalb County. This could be due to a rise in accessible walking paths throughout the Atlanta area, but these areas are also still heavily congested with traffic.
