Pedestrian Accidents in Georgia 

A pedestrian is anyone who is not driving a motorized vehicle on the road. Accidents involving pedestrians are extremely dangerous. They are more serious than other types of accidents because a vehicle can cause significant damage to an unprotected person even when moving slowly. Almost all pedestrian accidents result in injuries, and many are fatal.

The law treats pedestrian accidents in the same way that it does motor vehicle accidents. Victims have the right to seek compensation for any damages caused by the accident.
