Kennesaw Pedestrian Accident Attorney
What is a Pedestrian Accident?
A pedestrian accident occurs when a person traveling on foot, in a crosswalk, on a sidewalk, or along a roadway is struck by a motor vehicle, bicycle, or other moving object. Because pedestrians have no physical protection in a crash, these accidents often result in serious or even life-threatening injuries.
In Kennesaw, GA, pedestrian accidents are unfortunately common on busy roads, at intersections, and near shopping centers, schools, and neighborhoods. If you or a loved one has been injured, you may be entitled to financial compensation with the help of an experienced pedestrian accident attorney at Van Sant Law.
Contact us at (800) 234-9556 today for a free consultation with our Kennesaw pedestrian accident lawyers.

Georgia Pedestrian Laws
Understanding Georgia’s pedestrian laws is crucial when determining who is at fault in an accident. Some of the most important rules include:
- Right-of-Way in Crosswalks: Drivers must yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks.
- Obeying Traffic Control Signals: Pedestrians must follow “Walk” and “Don’t Walk” signals at intersections.
- Crossing Outside Crosswalks: Pedestrians crossing outside of a designated crosswalk must yield to vehicles unless the driver is violating traffic laws.
- Walking on Roadways: When sidewalks are not available, pedestrians must walk on the shoulder of the road facing traffic.
If a driver ignores these laws and strikes a pedestrian, they may be found liable for negligence. However, even pedestrians can be held partially responsible if they fail to follow traffic signals or laws. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation if you are less than 50% at fault for the accident.

-
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in Georgia?In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the accident. Failing to file within this time frame may prevent you from recovering compensation.
-
What if the driver who hit me fled the scene?
If you were the victim of a hit-and-run accident, you may still have options. Uninsured motorist coverage under your auto policy (or a family member’s policy) may cover your damages.
-
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?Georgia’s comparative negligence law allows you to recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
-
Do I need a lawyer for a pedestrian accident claim?Yes. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts or blame the pedestrian. An attorney can handle negotiations, gather evidence, and advocate for your rights in court if necessary.
-
How much is my pedestrian accident case worth?The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and the long-term impact of your injuries. An experienced attorney can provide a detailed evaluation of your claim.
