Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians struck by vehicles have no physical protection at the moment of impact. Injuries are frequently severe and the consequences can be life-changing. JP Law represents pedestrian accident victims throughout the Atlanta metro, including the high-risk Buford Highway corridor in Chamblee and the airport-adjacent corridors of East Point where pedestrian infrastructure lags behind vehicle traffic. All cases are handled on a contingency fee basis.

Failure to yield at crosswalks is one of the most frequent causes. Georgia law requires drivers to stop for pedestrians who have entered a marked crosswalk. Distracted driving, speeding in pedestrian-heavy areas, running red lights, and impaired driving all contribute to serious accidents across the metro. Left-turn accidents are particularly dangerous, as drivers focusing on oncoming traffic often fail to see pedestrians crossing with the signal.

Collisions with motor vehicles frequently result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, and internal injuries. Pedestrian accident victims in Atlanta, Norcross, Marietta, and across the metro may be entitled to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future rehabilitation costs, and reduced earning capacity.

JP Law also represents pedestrian accident victims in Brookhaven, Forest Park, Kennesaw, Lawrenceville, and Suwanee.
