In Georgia, liability is established on a case-by-case basis. If you were hurt in a pedestrian accident, York Gaskill will take action immediately to confirm liability.
When the Driver is at Fault
An at-fault driver who caused the accident could be liable for any of the following just prior and during the accident:
- Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol
- Driving unsafely for the weather conditions
- Speeding
- Distracted Driving (e.g., texting and driving)
- Failure to obey traffic signs or signals
- Failure to yield right of way to pedestrian / at crosswalk
When the Driver is Not at Fault
It is more likely that the driver is responsible and at fault for a pedestrian accident. However, one of the following parties could also be a cause for the accident:
- The property owner where the accident occurred
- A government entity (city, state) where a highway or road was poorly designed or maintained
- A public entity
