Protecting Your Rights After a Pedestrian Accident

Georgia Legal Help for Pedestrians Hit by a Car

Your loved one's pedestrian accident could have been caused by a variety of factors — the driver could have fallen asleep at the wheel, the driver may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the driver may have ran a traffic light, the driver may have had poor vision during nighttime or dawn/dusk situations.

At the Athens law firm of Scott, Wells & McElwee, P.C., our attorneys realize that what truly matters is that the accident occurred and that your family is now suffering as a result. We have the compassion to help your family deal with the aftermath of a serious pedestrian accident.
