Atlanta Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Being struck by a vehicle while on foot is among the most violent injuries a person can suffer. Pedestrians have no protection — no airbags, no crumple zones, no seatbelts — so even a low-speed collision can cause broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, internal organ damage, or fatal injuries. If you or a family member was hit by a car, truck, or other vehicle in Atlanta or anywhere in Georgia, attorney Diana Swain is ready to fight for you.

How we help injured pedestrians

After a pedestrian accident, insurance companies and their adjusters often try to shift blame onto the victim — suggesting the pedestrian wasn’t in a crosswalk, was wearing dark clothing, or was distracted. Diana Swain investigates the facts, builds a strong liability case, and pursues every dollar you are owed. She handles:

• Gathering police reports, surveillance footage, and witness accounts to establish what really happened
• Working with your medical providers to fully document your injuries and projected future care needs
• Identifying all liable parties — the driver, a government entity if road conditions contributed, or others
• Dealing with all insurance communication on your behalf
• Litigating your case through trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached

What to do after being struck by a vehicle

If you are physically able after a pedestrian accident:

1. Call 911 — even if injuries feel minor, a police report is critical.
2. Get immediate medical care; adrenaline can mask serious injuries for hours.
3. Photograph the scene, vehicle, driver’s license plate, and your injuries if possible.
4. Collect contact information from the driver and any witnesses.
5. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.

Compensation you may be owed

Pedestrian accident injuries are frequently severe and long-lasting. Georgia law allows recovery for medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, permanent disability or disfigurement, and — where applicable — additional damages for egregious conduct such as drunk or distracted driving.

Georgia deadlines matter

Georgia’s personal injury statute of limitations generally provides two years from the date of the accident to file suit. If a government entity (city, county, or state) may share responsibility for a road defect or dangerous condition, special notice requirements apply on shorter timelines. Contact Swain Injury Law promptly so no deadline is missed.
