Why Choose Pritchard Injury Firm After a Blairsville Pedestrian Accident?
Blairsville’s scenic roads, walkable downtown, and tourist traffic create an increased risk for pedestrian accidents—particularly on Highway 515, Cleveland Street, and Blue Ridge Street. Even when pedestrians follow crosswalk signals and traffic laws, they are still vulnerable to reckless drivers who speed, text, or fail to yield the right of way.
Here’s why injured pedestrians throughout Union County and beyond trust Pritchard Injury Firm:
- Local experience in Georgia pedestrian injury law
- Aggressive legal representation against negligent drivers and insurers
- Compassionate support throughout your recovery
- No legal fees unless we win your case
Our firm focuses on client-first advocacy, meaning your well-being, financial recovery, and future are our top priorities.
Georgia Laws That Protect Pedestrians
Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-91), drivers must stop and remain stopped for pedestrians in crosswalks. Failing to yield, distracted driving, or speeding in pedestrian-heavy areas may be considered negligent or reckless behavior.
Victims of pedestrian accidents in Blairsville may bring a personal injury claim against the at-fault party’s insurance company. To secure compensation, your attorney must prove:
- The driver owed you a duty of care
- That duty was breached through negligence
- The breach directly caused your injuries
- You suffered damages as a result
Our Blairsville personal injury lawyers will gather all available evidence—such as surveillance footage, accident reports, witness statements, and medical records—to build a compelling case on your behalf.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Blairsville
While each case is unique, many Georgia pedestrian accidents share common contributing factors, including:
- Distracted driving (texting, using GPS, or eating while driving)
- Failure to yield at crosswalks or intersections
- Speeding in residential or downtown areas
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Poor visibility or inadequate signage near roadways
- Backover accidents in parking lots or driveways
Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere—from school zones and grocery store lots to residential streets and Blairsville’s busy intersections. If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, we’re here to help you hold them accountable.
