Who’s Liable for a Pedestrian Accident in Georgia?

Under Georgia law, multiple parties can be held liable if their negligence contributed to the accident.

Our investigation may identify one or more of the following as responsible:

• Passenger vehicle drivers
• Motorcyclists
• Truck or bus drivers
• Other pedestrians or bicyclists
• Transit companies
• Property owners
• Vehicle manufacturers
• Government agencies
• Employers of negligent parties

Our Georgia pedestrian accident attorneys will pursue all available avenues to recover the compensation you deserve.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Some of the most frequent causes of pedestrian accidents in Georgia include:

• Speeding
• Failure to yield
• Illegal turns
• Distracted driving
• Rolling stops
• Drunk driving
• Road or sidewalk defects
• Vehicle malfunctions
• Poor weather or visibility

Most incidents stem from negligence—when someone acts unreasonably and causes harm.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit?

You may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages:

Economic damages include:

• Hospital bills
• Future medical treatment
• Physical therapy
• Lost income
• Reduced earning potential
• Out-of-pocket expenses
• Funeral expenses in wrongful death cases

Non-economic damages include:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• PTSD
• Scarring or disfigurement

In some cases, punitive damages may also be available if the defendant acted with extreme negligence.

Our attorneys will be prepared to counter any attempt to downplay your injuries or minimize your settlement.

Can I Still Recover Compensation if I’m Partially at Fault?

Yes, but only if you’re less than 50% responsible. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule.

• If you're 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover compensation.
• If you’re 49% or less at fault, your award will be reduced proportionally.

For example, if you're 10% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 10%.

Our legal team will work to minimize your share of blame and maximize your recovery.

You Have a Limited Time to File a Lawsuit

Don’t delay. Missing the deadline means losing your right to pursue compensation.
