Have you or a loved one been hit by a car in the Atlanta and Fulton County area? A pedestrian injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Shane Smith can serve as your experienced advocate.

The urban and suburban areas of Atlanta and Fulton County pose hazards for walkers and joggers trying to share the road with speeding cars and trucks. Busy and distracted commuters ignore crosswalks and put pedestrians at risk of injury or death.

The pedestrian injury lawyer team at the Law Offices of Shane Smith provides responsive and caring legal services for victims of pedestrian car wrecks and crosswalk injuries. If you’ve been hurt in a pedestrian accident in Georgia, we can help.

If You’re the Victim of a Pedestrian Accident in Georgia, You’re Not Alone

The Atlanta-area — including Cobb, Fulton and DeKalb counties — had the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the state in 2006, as 16 people died from pedestrian-vehicle collisions in each county that year. In car wrecks involving pedestrians, the pedestrian is obviously more vulnerable than the driver, and in fact, many pedestrians involved in these accidents suffer severe injuries while the driver remains unhurt.

For instance, maybe you were:

· hit in a crosswalk on Virginia Avenue;
· struck by a car in Douglasville and suffered a broken leg;
· run over by a bus in Scottdale; or
· knocked down by a speeding truck on Highway 401 and suffered a head

injury.

While the injuries and circumstances may vary, Atlanta pedestrian injury lawyer Shane Smith can advocate for you regardless of the specifics of your injury.

Addressing the Consequences of Atlanta/Fulton County Pedestrian Injuries

He understands that a pedestrian accident in Georgia can have serious consequences, including:
