If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be overwhelmed by mounting medical bills, complicated insurance claims, and the recovery process. At Seay/Felton LLC Trial Lawyers, our pedestrian accident lawyers in Savannah, GA, are dedicated to helping victims secure the compensation they need to rebuild their lives. Contact us today to learn how we can assist you.

How Seay/Felton LLC Trial Lawyers Can Help?

Most people don’t realize that victims of accidents in Georgia have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you wait longer, your case will likely be dismissed unless specific exceptions apply. While this may seem like plenty of time, recovering from catastrophic injuries can be a long and arduous process, often taking up the critical early years of recovery.

When you hire one of our Savannah pedestrian accident attorneys, we handle all aspects of your case, including deadlines, so you can focus on your recovery without added stress. Our team ensures that no detail is overlooked in the pursuit of justice for your case.

 

Getting Started with Your Case

At Seay/Felton LLC Trial Lawyers, we are committed to serving the Savannah community. Our approach to catastrophic injury lawsuits involves meticulous attention to detail and creative legal strategies to secure maximum compensation. Our process includes:

  1. Thorough Investigation: Our attorneys review your case from all angles, identifying the most effective legal avenues.
  2. Evidence Collection: While you focus on recovery, we gather medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and any other evidence needed to strengthen your claim.
  3. Convenient Communication: We’ll keep you informed and communicate in a way that’s convenient for you, even visiting you in the hospital or at home if necessary.

By acting quickly after an accident, we can secure time-sensitive evidence and begin building your case right away.

Obtaining Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Victims

In most cases, we recover compensation for our clients through negotiated settlements. While settlements may not always yield the highest amounts possible, they ensure you receive the financial support you need promptly. However, if negotiations fail, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial to fight for fair compensation.

Potential Compensation Includes:

  • Medical Expenses: Covering emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed at work and reduced earning capacity.
  • Pain and Suffering: Addressing physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Property Damage: Covering personal items damaged in the accident.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct by the at-fault party.

We also ensure compensation for hidden costs, such as future medical expenses or diminished quality of life, is accurately accounted for. Additionally, non-economic damages like mental anguish or trauma are thoroughly evaluated to reflect the full impact of your injuries.

Understanding Fault in Savannah Pedestrian Accidents

One of the advantages of a pedestrian injury claim is that drivers are held to a higher standard of care due to the significant risks their vehicles pose to pedestrians. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, if you are found 50% or more at fault, you may be barred from receiving compensation.

Common situations where drivers are typically found at fault include:

  • Failing to yield at crosswalks.
  • Distracted driving, such as texting while driving.
  • Running red lights or stop signs.
  • Speeding in pedestrian-heavy areas.

Insurance companies may try to shift blame onto you to reduce or deny your claim. Our experienced attorneys are skilled at countering these tactics and presenting clear evidence to establish liability, ensuring you are treated fairly and your rights are upheld.
