Pedestrian Accidents in Georgia
Pedestrians are some of the most at-risk parties on our roads in the event of an accident. This is due to the fact that pedestrians have no protection from harm, which means that they are likely to be injured or even killed after an accident. In 2018 alone, over 260 people were killed in pedestrian accidents and many others were injured. Being injured in a pedestrian accident might be one of the most challenging things that you have ever endured. Because of this, you should have a legal advocate on your side.
