Whether you were crossing Roswell Street, walking through Marietta Square, or simply heading to your car in a parking lot, getting hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian is life-changing. Pedestrians have no protection against impact, and drivers who fail to yield, slow down, or pay attention can cause devastating injuries in seconds.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent injured pedestrians throughout Marietta, Smyrna, and Cobb County. We fight to hold negligent drivers accountable and pursue full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and long-term recovery.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Marietta
Pedestrian crashes are almost always preventable. We handle cases involving:
- Drivers failing to stop at crosswalks
- Speeding in residential or school zones
- Distracted driving (texting, eating, GPS)
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Unsafe left or right turns at intersections
- Backing up without checking for foot traffic
- Running red lights or stop signs
We investigate each accident to determine exactly how it happened and who should be held responsible.
Serious Injuries from Pedestrian Crashes
Pedestrians absorb the full force of impact in a collision, often resulting in catastrophic injuries. We represent clients who have suffered:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and joint damage
- Internal injuries or organ damage
- Facial trauma and disfigurement
- Road rash, lacerations, and soft tissue damage
- Fatal injuries requiring wrongful death claims
We work closely with your medical providers and specialists to assess both current and future treatment needs.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were hit by a car, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Physical therapy and long-term treatment
- Lost wages and future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and PTSD
- Property damage (phone, glasses, personal items)
- Funeral and burial expenses in fatal cases
We don’t accept lowball offers, we fight for the compensation you actually need to move forward.
What If the Driver Tries to Blame You?
Insurance companies often try to argue that the pedestrian “darted into traffic” or wasn’t using a crosswalk. But under Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule, you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault.
We protect your claim with:
- Police reports and witness interviews
- Traffic camera or surveillance footage
- Black box data from the vehicle (if applicable)
- Detailed medical records and expert opinions
You deserve to be heard, and compensated.
