Pedestrian Accidents
Georgia Legal Help For Pedestrians Hit By A Car
Protecting Your Rights After A Pedestrian Accident
Your loved one’s pedestrian accident could have been caused by a variety of factors – the driver could have fallen asleep at the wheel, the driver may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the driver may have run a traffic light, or the driver may have been distracted by talking or texting on a cell phone.
At the Athens law firm of Wells and McElwee P.C., our attorneys realize that what truly matters is that the accident occurred and that your family is now suffering as a result. We have the compassion to help your family deal with the aftermath of a serious pedestrian accident. However, we also have the strong investigation and trial skills needed to obtain answers and accountability in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. To discuss your situation with an experienced Georgia trial attorney, contact us in Athens for a free consultation.
It is inevitable that when a pedestrian is up against a car, truck, or other motor vehicle, the pedestrian will lose. Walkers, joggers, cyclists and other pedestrians may be following traffic laws, obeying traffic lights at a crosswalk, or even out of traffic entirely when an inattentive, reckless, or drunk driver collides with them and changes their life forever.
We help those clients who have suffered injuries, including the following:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or head injuries
- Neck and spinal cord injuries
- Back and spine injuries
- Fatal injuries leading to wrongful death
- And many more
