Accident Lawyer
An accident looks different for a vehicle occupant and a pedestrian. The former has some protection from their car, while the latter has no protection at all. In a minor accident, the former may deal with vehicle repairs, but the latter may likely face medical bills and time off work due to more severe injuries.

We Handle All Kinds of Accident Cases in Savannah, Georgia
If you aren’t sure if we represent your kind of pedestrian accident, just ask. We can handle and have handled various accident cases for Savannah clients. Our pedestrian accident attorneys can identify the root cause of your accident—the careless act that caused your injury—and determine the right person to hold responsible.
01
If a Driver Caused the Crash
The careless act at the center of your case could be the condition of the driver.
Maybe they drove:
Maybe they drove:
Under the influence of drugs and alcohol
Drowsy
Aggressive
Distracted
In these cases, we can gather blood alcohol concentration and drug tests to show impairment, obtain employment records, track down company transportation logs to check for hours-of-service violations, and talk to witnesses who saw the driver’s behavior.
Alternatively, negligence can stem from specific traffic violations like:
Alternatively, negligence can stem from specific traffic violations like:
Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
Failing to yield
Failure to merge or turn properly
Running lights or stop signs
Ignoring signs and signals
Tailgating
In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that a fatal pedestrian accident is more likely if a driver speeds. Police reports can show if a driver received a citation for going over the speed limit. We can also rely on traffic camera footage, witnesses, and accident reconstruction to highlight this form of negligence.
Even drivers who obey traffic rules sometimes act negligently if they failed to adjust for traffic and weather conditions, causing them to hit a pedestrian. In these cases, we can gather weather and traffic data. Failing to look before turning or pulling onto a roadway can also constitute negligence.

02
If Another Entity Caused the Accident
Road defects or other maintenance failures by the City of Savannah could make them responsible for your injuries, with or without vehicles involved. For example, if you had to go out into the street because of a known hazard blocking a path, causing you to get hit, we may hold Savannah responsible. Poor sidewalks, lack of signage, and faulty signals could all provide grounds for a case against them.
We Dig Deeper for Comprehensive Pedestrian Injury Compensation
When determining how much compensation you can claim in your case, we consider:
What type of injuries did you suffer, and how severe were they?
What procedures, treatment plans, prescriptions, and rehabilitation do you need to recover from your injuries?
Do you need home and vehicle modifications to accommodate new equipment like wheelchairs or other mobility aids?
Are you now dealing with chronic pain or life-long struggles because of your injuries?
Has this injury forced you down to part-time employment, made you change careers, or prevented you from working at all?
Can you no longer do hobbies or activities you enjoyed and that brought you fulfillment?
Have your relationships changed or suffered because of your injuries, such as no longer being able to play with your children or enjoying intimacy with your spouse?
Are you no longer independent or don’t have the same quality of life compared to before the accident?
These questions help us determine what you deserve in each category of damages—medical, income, and non-economic losses. For example, if you suffered a spinal cord injury after a car hit you, the location of the injury, its severity, and your age can mean the difference between a lifetime cost of $1.2 million and $5.1 million, according to National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) estimates.
As you can see, the variables make a difference. Highlighting the areas of your life that this accident has changed can help us make sure you receive compensation.

Who Can File for Wrongful Death After a Fatal Accident
According to Georgia’s wrongful death law, only certain family members can file for wrongful death. First is the surviving spouse, then the surviving children. If neither of those applies to your family’s case, surviving parents can file the lawsuit. Finally, if none of those options applies, a representative or executor of the deceased’s estate can file on their behalf.
Families shouldn’t have to worry about these details while processing their grief. Allow our wrongful death attorneys to sort out who can file your case.
