Pedestrian Accidents in Georgia
Because pedestrians have no protection from harm in the event of an accident, they are likely to become seriously injured or even killed in an accident. Pedestrians are killed every year in accidents. In fact, Georgia sees hundreds of fatal pedestrian accidents every single year. In just 2018 alone, approximately 260 pedestrians were killed in pedestrian accidents throughout Georgia. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to the roads around them at all times so that pedestrian accidents can be prevented. However, these accidents still occur due to negligent reasons.
