Understanding Pedestrian And Bicycle Accidents In Georgia
In Georgia, a pedestrian accident typically involves a motor vehicle striking a person traveling on foot, though other scenarios may also qualify. A bicycle accident typically involves a vehicle striking someone riding a bike, though crashes caused by road defects or other hazards may also apply.
Both fall under personal injury law and can result in life-changing harm, though Georgia law may reduce or bar recovery if you share fault for the accident. These collisions can leave victims with injuries ranging from painful to permanently disabling. Some of the most common include:
- Broken bones: Fractures to the arms, legs or spine from the force of impact
- Traumatic brain injuries: Concussions or severe brain damage from a strike to the head
- Spinal cord injuries: Damage that can cause chronic pain, limited mobility or permanent paralysis
- Internal injuries: Organ damage from blunt force trauma that can become life-threatening
- Road rash: Deep abrasions from contact with pavement that often require extensive treatment
Hit-and-run accidents add another layer of difficulty to an already devastating situation. When a driver flees the scene, our team investigates the crash, identifies responsible parties and pursues every available path to compensation on your behalf.
What Compensation Can You Recover After A Pedestrian Or Bicycle Accident?
Your injuries may entitle you to financial compensation. Georgia law allows injured victims to seek several types of damages, including:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of earning capacity
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages
An experienced personal injury attorney can make the difference between a fair recovery and a shortchanged settlement. Attorneys Danny L. Durham and Melissa C. Bray each hold the AV Preeminent peer-review rated* through Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating available in the legal profession.
