How Can An Atlanta Pedestrian Accident Attorney Help?

At the Hines Law Firm, our team of dedicated Atlanta pedestrian accident attorneys can guide you through each step of your case. Our legal team makes it their priority to earn your trust, providing you with the support and advice you need during this challenging time.

Any delay in investigating the accident can result in evidence being destroyed or lost. Additionally, the other driver’s insurance provider will immediately begin an investigation and will extensively document the crash in anticipation of an injury claim. Because of this, it’s important to obtain legal representation as soon as possible.

When you hire a pedestrian accident lawyer on our legal team, they will work tirelessly on your behalf to build the strongest case possible to hold the negligent party financially responsible for your damages.

Your pedestrian accident lawyer will also help by:

Assessing the accident scene, including factors such as weather conditions, traffic patterns, and visibility
Taking photos of the accident scene, including any skid marks, debris on the road, and the layout of the intersection or road
Obtaining photos of your injuries
Obtaining a copy of the police report, which can include important details about the accident and information about the parties involved, the police officer’s opinion regarding which party was at fault, in addition to witness statements.
Interviewing anyone who witnessed the accident
Reviewing your medical records, medical bills, and other damages from the accident

01

Assessing Accident Damages

An accident victim who tries to resolve the case on their own may quickly discover the settlement the insurance company offered is lower than their monetary damages, including non-economic losses and future expenses.

When you work with an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer, they will carefully review your accident claim to help determine the value of your damages. They may also consult with experts to ensure you pursue compensation for any future medical treatment costs.

02

Handling the Insurance Company

The driver’s insurance provider may attempt to place some or all of the blame on you. Your pedestrian accident lawyer will anticipate this strategy and advocate for the fair settlement you deserve. They will handle all interactions with the insurance company, including settlement negotiations. Their goal is to secure a settlement that will make you financially whole.

What Are Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Atlanta?

Most people recognize the dangers of walking when vehicles are nearby. As a pedestrian, you know to wait for the walk signal, look both ways when crossing the street, and take other precautions before you step onto the road. However, most pedestrian accidents don’t occur because the pedestrian is careless. In many cases, a pedestrian is hit by a car because of a negligent driver.

Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

Drunk driving
Distracted driving
Failure to check the intersections for pedestrians
Failure to watch for
Pedestrians when turning
Speeding
Drifting onto the shoulder or driving too close to the curb

Every motorist has a responsibility to safely operate their vehicle. When they fail to do so and a pedestrian is injured, the driver will be held liable for damages.
