We offer our warmest thoughts and sympathies to the pedestrian who was hurt in this accident.
Pedestrian accidents, especially those that involve children, tend to be some of the most catastrophic accidents on our roads in Georgia. This is due to the fact that pedestrians have no protection from harm in the event of an accident. In 2021, it was reported that approximately 322 people were killed in Georgia pedestrian accidents and many others were injured. These accidents can almost always be prevented but, unfortunately, too few drivers pay close attention to the roads and what is happening around them. If you have been hurt in a pedestrian accident and wonder what options you have, it is crucial that you speak with an attorney that you can trust.
Getting back on your feet after a pedestrian accident can be a devastating and long-lasting experience that you are not prepared for. Some of the most severe injuries stem from pedestrian accidents on our roads, which include the following:
The injuries that stem from a pedestrian accident could land a victim in the hospital for an extended period of time. On top of this, they could cause a victim to miss out on time at work.
