How Do I Establish Liability in a Georgia Pedestrian Accident Case?
The success of your pedestrian accident claim depends heavily on establishing that the driver acted negligently. Georgia law gives pedestrians the right of way in crosswalks under O.C.G.A. § 40-6-91, which means a driver who strikes someone in a crosswalk will have a difficult time avoiding liability. Outside of a crosswalk, the legal picture shifts because O.C.G.A. § 40-6-92 generally requires the pedestrian to yield to traffic.
Where you were crossing matters, but it does not tell the whole story. Georgia law still requires every motorist to exercise due care to avoid hitting a pedestrian on the roadway. A driver who was distracted by their phone can still be held responsible even if you were not in a crosswalk at the time. The same applies to a driver who was speeding or failed to brake. Evidence like traffic camera footage and witness statements can help establish what really happened, and the police report will often support your version of events as well.
