Reliable Legal Representation When Pedestrians Are Harmed

When a person is struck by a car, they often face more than just physical recovery—they're left to navigate a legal system that can feel overwhelming and impersonal. At Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins LLP, we don’t just handle cases—we support people. We understand the urgency of these claims, and we move quickly to gather evidence, preserve witness statements, and obtain accident reports.

Georgia’s laws protect pedestrians, but insurance companies may still attempt to shift blame or minimize payouts. That’s where our experience makes the difference.

With over 50 years of legal service, our firm has represented children, seniors, commuters, and families affected by pedestrian accidents across Georgia. We have earned a reputation for compassion, integrity, and a commitment to results. If you're unable to travel, we will come to you—at home, in the hospital, or wherever you need us.

    Frequently Asked Questions About
    Pedestrian Accidents

    Yes. While crosswalks provide legal protection, pedestrians struck outside of them may still be eligible for compensation, depending on the driver’s behavior and road conditions. Let us evaluate your specific situation.

     

    “Not seeing” a pedestrian isn’t a valid legal defense. Drivers have a duty to remain alert and yield when appropriate. We investigate thoroughly to establish negligence.

     

    Georgia follows comparative negligence rules. Even if you were partly at fault, you may still recover damages—though your compensation may be reduced proportionally.

    Immediately. Critical evidence—like surveillance footage or witness accounts—can disappear quickly. Prompt legal action strengthens your claim.

    If the driver was insured, their liability coverage should cover your injuries. If not, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy may apply. We’ll help you explore all options.

    Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Wrongful death claims also follow a two-year limit.

    Yes. A parent or guardian can file a personal injury claim on behalf of a minor who was injured. We treat these sensitive cases with the utmost care and dedication.
