Columbus Pedestrian Accident Attorneys Serving All Of Georgia
Walking along busy streets like Macon Road, East Highland or through Beallwood should never end in tragedy. Yet Georgia pedestrians face daily risks from distracted, impaired or speeding drivers. Georgia law protects those injured while walking, but navigating these claims demands skilled legal guidance.
The Finley Firm, P.C., stands ready to help pedestrian accident victims throughout Columbus and across Georgia. With offices in Columbus, Atlanta and Dalton, our litigation team brings national-level experience to your local case, having successfully handled multimillion-dollar claims for injured clients.
Who Covers Injury Costs After Being Hit By A Car?
Georgia follows modified comparative negligence rules, meaning pedestrians can recover damages even if partially responsible for the accident (up to 49% fault). Your compensation may come from:
- The driver’s liability insurance
- Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Your personal health insurance
Insurance companies regularly undervalue pedestrian claims, counting on victims’ unfamiliarity with Georgia law. Our lawyers have worked on both sides of these cases, giving us unique insight into insurers’ tactics and a broad understanding of personal injury law. This helps ensure they do not shortchange you.
How To Maximize Compensation After Being Hit As A Pedestrian
Getting fair compensation starts with solid proof for your case. Building a strong case requires these swift actions:
- Document all injuries and medical treatments
- Gather witness statements while memories are fresh
- Preserve physical evidence from the scene
- Obtain traffic camera footage before it is deleted
Even in hit-and-run situations, trust us to recover every dollar you are owed. Our car accident attorneys explore all avenues for recovery, including uninsured motorist claims and thorough investigation to identify the responsible party.
