We fight to make sure injured pedestrians get treated fairly — and paid fully.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Columbus

Most pedestrian accidents are preventable and caused by driver negligence. Common causes include:

• Distracted driving (texting, phone use)

• Speeding in residential or school zones

• Failing to yield at crosswalks

• Running red lights or stop signs

• Drunk or impaired driving

• Unsafe turns or backing up without checking

If any of these played a role in your crash, our Columbus pedestrian accident lawyers will get to the bottom of it and demand accountability.

Pedestrian Accident Injuries Are Often Catastrophic

Pedestrians don’t have airbags, seatbelts, or helmets. As a result, injuries tend to be serious and long-term.

Common pedestrian accident injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

• Broken bones and fractures

• Internal bleeding and organ damage

• Facial injuries and disfigurement

• Amputations

• Emotional trauma and PTSD

We fight for the full value of your medical care, recovery, and suffering.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Georgia law allows injured pedestrians to recover compensation for both financial and personal losses. You may be entitled to:

• Emergency room and hospital bills

• Ongoing medical treatment and rehab

• Lost wages and reduced earning potential

• Pain and suffering

• Mental anguish and trauma

• Long-term disability or disfigurement

• Wrongful death damages (for family members of deceased victims)

We calculate every damage — then pursue every dollar.

How Long Do You Have to File a Claim in Georgia?

In most cases, the statute of limitations for pedestrian injury claims in Georgia is two years from the date of the accident. If you’re filing a wrongful death claim, the same deadline applies.

However, delays can lead to lost evidence and weaker claims. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better your chances of success.
