Peachtree Corners Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Is there a pedestrian accident lawyer near me in Peachtree Corners?

Yes. The Scott Pryor Law Group's headquarters is in Peachtree Corners, and from it the firm's lawyers represent people struck by vehicles while on foot in the city and across Gwinnett County. You can meet at the headquarters or begin with a phone call. Phones answered 24/7. The first consultation is free.

Being hit on foot can keep you from driving for weeks or longer, so getting started does not depend on getting here. Call from home or from a hospital room. We will write down where you were walking, what the driver did and how you were hurt, and that is enough to begin.

When you are ready to sit down in person, the headquarters is right here in Peachtree Corners. The firm also has an office in downtown Lawrenceville, at the county seat. One number reaches both, and your case stays with the same people whichever door you walk through. More about the office is on our Peachtree Corners page.

In the consultation, we listen to your account first. Then we explain how a pedestrian claim works, what the process and timeline can look like, and whether we can help. It is free, and you are under no obligation. If you hire us, nothing is due up front.

I was hit by a car while walking in Peachtree Corners. Can the firm take my case?

Often, yes. The Scott Pryor Law Group takes pedestrian cases in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, when a driver's carelessness caused the injury. That includes people struck in crosswalks, at intersections, in parking lots and along roadways while walking, jogging or standing near the road. In a free consultation, we tell you whether we can take your case.

Drivers must stop and remain stopped for pedestrians in crosswalks. O.C.G.A. § 40-6-91 When a driver fails to do that, the failure can sit at the center of the case. Other cases start with a driver who was looking at a phone, driving impaired, speeding, or turning without checking for someone on foot.

A person on foot has no airbag, seatbelt or steel frame between them and the vehicle. That is why these injuries are so often serious: traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage and multiple broken bones. If the injury will change the rest of your life, see our catastrophic injury page. If a crash took the life of someone you love, our wrongful death page explains the family's claim.

How will the firm investigate my Peachtree Corners pedestrian accident?

The Scott Pryor Law Group investigates a Peachtree Corners pedestrian accident by rebuilding how it happened: what the driver did, where you were, and who else may be responsible. When the facts call for it, the firm works with accident reconstructionists and medical professionals, then documents every loss the crash caused.

The driver's insurer will study what you were doing as closely as what the driver did. Pedestrians must follow traffic control signals in the same way as motorists. O.C.G.A. § 40-6-90 So we examine both sides of the crash first, before the insurer frames the story. If you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault. O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33 A fair account of fault, backed by evidence, protects what your claim is worth.

The evidence can include photos of the scene, the vehicle and your injuries, video from the area, the police report and statements from people who saw it. Then we document the losses: medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs and property damage, along with the pain, emotional trauma and reduced quality of life that never come with a receipt.

Each client has a dedicated attorney and case manager, so you know who is working on your case and who to call. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. If the insurer will not make a reasonable offer, we are ready to take your case to court. Meet the lawyers on our team page.

What should I do after a pedestrian accident in Peachtree Corners?

Call 911, get checked by a doctor even if you feel fine, and talk with a lawyer before you give the driver's insurer a detailed statement. Victims generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33
