Brunswick Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Brunswick, GA

From the Pier Village to the beach village on Jekyll to Downtown Brunswick, the Golden Isles has become more pedestrian-friendly over the past decade. Across the country, it is estimated that over four thousand pedestrians are killed annually, and around seventy thousand are injured. These are daunting statistics.

These types of accidents can result in serious injury or even death. Contact a skilled and experienced Brunswick pedestrian accident attorney to protect your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve.

Brunswick Pedestrian Accident AttorneyWhat are the causes of vehicle versus pedestrian accidents?

Unfortunately, the majority of pedestrian accidents are caused by a driver’s negligence and failure to pay attention. In today’s world, technology creates significant distractions for drivers. From texting while driving to selecting music and podcasts, these distractions are usually caused by smartphones. Many technological distractions exist within the vehicles themselves. Satellite radios, air conditioning settings, even video displays can divert the attention of drivers. Drivers may also be distracted by having too much on their mind. Such distractions have unfortunately become a commonplace across the country, Brunswick included. Distracted drivers may:

  • Run stop signs and traffic lights
  • Turn into pedestrians who have the right of way.
  • Fail to see a pedestrian who is crossing the road
  • Runoff the road and strike pedestrians on sidewalks
  • Drive under the influence
  • Speed through intersections

If you have been victimized by a vehicle versus pedestrian accident and suspect distracted driving may have been the cause, contact our attorneys today.

Where do pedestrian accidents usually occur?

Surprisingly, the vast majority of pedestrian deaths occur at locations other than intersections. Often, motorists do not realize that they need to be aware of pedestrians at all times and in all places where cars are driven. Pedestrians are struck in parking garages, parking lots, on stretches of road that do not have sidewalks, on sidewalks, crossing streets with no intersection, and many more locations.

How much harm can be caused by vehicle-pedestrian accidents?

As you would expect, walkers and runners who have been hit by cars and trucks often suffer severe injuries or death. Pedestrians simply do not have the same amount of protection as those in vehicles. Pedestrians might be the most vulnerable victims of automobile accidents. In the case of a bicyclist or motorcycle accidents, those riding the bikes usually have helmets on. The at least three thousand pound difference between a motor vehicle and a human being causes significant injury in the case of an accident. Such injuries often include:

The Right Steps to Take Following a Brunswick Pedestrian Accident

You can never fully plan for the disturbance caused by being struck by a car while walking down the road, but you can understand the essential steps you should take after an accident to protect you or your loved one’s rights and finances. Those steps are as follows:

Get The Medical Care You Need

Regardless of the amount of pain or discomfort after a Brunswick pedestrian-vehicle accident, always seek medical care. The symptoms of many injuries appear slowly, but a physician can often quickly diagnose hidden injuries. Also importantly, seeing a doctor as soon as possible ensures that proper records are kept of any injuries for future insurance claims or litigation.

Do Not Speak To Insurance Adjusters or Their Lawyers

Most insurance companies will try and speak with you to settle your claim against the driver. Never speak with these companies. You should always have your accident reviewed by a personal injury lawyer before settling. Many insurance companies will attempt to take advantage of pedestrian accident victims’ frantic and confused states of mind immediately following an accident.

Contact a Brunswick Pedestrian Accident Attorney  Immediately

There is no reason not to consult an experienced Brunswick pedestrian accident injury attorney. A decent accident lawyer near me will never charge for an initial consultation, and the attorney will be able to help in determining any legal rights to recover compensation against the driver. A lawyer is also essential to serving as protection from insurance companies, who will try to contact you for a quick settlement for pennies on the dollar.

What Our Clients Say

They truly care
Mrs Vallery, who answered the phone took more care and attention to detail than any other law office, that I have called, in 2 years+. She diligently took notes to give to the lawyers and cared about my situation and let me actually tell everything without cutting me short. Out of over 100 law offices, this is rare treatment. Care. Consideration. That means more than anything going through this…

From Self-Representation to Victory in SSDI Case!
My experience with Mario and his staff was outstanding. When everyone said to give up my case with SSDI and after being poorly represented and losing. I had to file my own appeals and represent myself. I literally called every attorney in the book. Then I called Mario cold – I expected one more no! Well, this gentleman took my case and won. He knows the law and cares a lot. I am proud to call him my friend. If you need a professional to help you, call these guys.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism
Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.
