With the population growth in Atlanta it has resulted in more pedestrians on busy roads such as Howell Mill and Northside Drive and more accidents involving pedestrians. Unfortunately, these accidents tend to be extremely serious and sometimes debilitating or fatal.
It is important to realize that in the vast majority of cases, the pedestrian has the right of way, particularly when he or she is in a crosswalk. These types of cases may be complex, particularly if they involve a cyclist who was sharing the road.
As such, it is of immense importance to reach out to an experienced law firm to protect your rights if you or someone close to you was a victim of a pedestrian accident injury.
