Gwinnett County Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Which office should I call after a pedestrian accident in Gwinnett County?

Either one. Both of The Scott Pryor Law Group's offices are in Gwinnett County, Georgia: the headquarters in Peachtree Corners and an office in downtown Lawrenceville. One phone number reaches both, and you meet at whichever is easier to get to. Your pedestrian case gets the same team and the same fee at either office.

Choose by the trips you will actually make. After a pedestrian crash you may not be able to drive for a while, so the office closer to your home, to the person driving you, or to your doctor may be the easier one. If neither is practical, you do not have to visit at all. We can start by phone and keep in touch that way.

The headquarters in Peachtree Corners is where the firm is based. The Lawrenceville office is downtown, in the county seat. Each has its own page with its address: Peachtree Corners and Lawrenceville.

Phones answered 24/7. When you call, tell us where the crash happened and which office you prefer, and we will set a time that works around your treatment. The consultation costs nothing, whichever office you pick.

Do you take pedestrian cases outside Lawrenceville and Peachtree Corners?

Yes. The Scott Pryor Law Group represents pedestrians hurt anywhere in Gwinnett County, including Lawrenceville, Duluth, Suwanee, Buford, Norcross, Snellville and Peachtree Corners, and across Georgia. The town where a driver hit you has no effect on the free consultation, the contingency fee or the attention your pedestrian case gets from the firm.

Across the county, people are hit in crosswalks and at intersections, in store parking lots, and on the way to one of the county's parks or trails. Some were crossing outside a crosswalk. Others were struck by a driver who was speeding toward the crossing, turning, backing up or simply never looked.

The cause shapes the evidence. A driver distracted by a phone, by passengers or by food leaves a different trail than a driver who had been drinking, or one who says a person in dark clothing in a dark area was impossible to see. We start looking for that evidence early, before it disappears.

If you were in a vehicle or on a motorcycle when you were hit, our Gwinnett County car accident page or Gwinnett County motorcycle accident page fits better. For any other kind of case, start at our Gwinnett County page.

Who handles a Gwinnett County pedestrian accident case?

At The Scott Pryor Law Group, each pedestrian client in Gwinnett County, Georgia, has a dedicated attorney and a case manager from the first call on. The firm's attorneys are founding partner and trial attorney Scott Pryor and litigation attorneys Andrew and Zane Bradford, and the same team serves both offices.

Your case manager answers questions and gives you updates, so you are not left guessing about where things stand. Your attorney works the legal side with you. Any offer comes to you with our honest read on it, and you decide whether to take it.

The attorneys bring different backgrounds. Scott Pryor is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran whose recognitions include Super Lawyers and the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association (Champion Level). Martindale-Hubbell gives Andrew its AV Preeminent rating, and he is licensed in all state courts of Georgia and Tennessee. Zane Bradford served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve during the first Gulf War and passed the Georgia Bar in 2018. Their profiles are on our team page.

We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. In a pedestrian case, that means building the record of what the driver did and what your injuries cost from the start, so the insurer is looking at a case that is ready for a jury.

What are my rights as a pedestrian hit by a car in Georgia?

Drivers must stop and remain stopped for pedestrians in crosswalks. O.C.G.A. § 40-6-91 Pedestrians have duties as well, and our article on when pedestrians are at fault explains how Georgia weighs both sides.
