Experienced Representation for Pedestrian Accidents Claims
When a vehicle strikes a person on foot, the pedestrian has no protection, and the injuries are frequently severe or fatal. At Howe.Law Injury and Accident Lawyers, we represent pedestrians hurt by negligent drivers throughout Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi. We hold drivers accountable when they fail to yield, ignore crosswalks, or simply are not paying attention, and we pursue every available source of compensation for the people they harm.
Pedestrian cases can be complicated by disputes over who had the right of way and by insurers who try to blame the victim for crossing improperly. We investigate carefully to establish the truth and protect your right to recover.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Most pedestrian collisions happen because a driver fails to watch for people on foot. Common causes include:
- Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks
- Distracted driving, including phone use
- Speeding, especially in residential and school zones
- Failure to stop at intersections and turns
- Impaired driving
- Poor visibility and inadequate lighting
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Because there is nothing to absorb the impact of a vehicle, pedestrians often suffer devastating injuries. We represent clients with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, multiple fractures, internal organ damage, pelvic injuries, and severe soft tissue trauma. Many of these injuries require surgery, extended rehabilitation, and long-term care, and some result in permanent disability.
How We Build Your Pedestrian Accident Case
We move quickly to gather the police report, traffic and surveillance video, photographs, and witness statements that establish how the crash happened and who was at fault. We work to counter any attempt to unfairly blame you, document the full extent of your injuries and future medical needs, and identify all applicable insurance coverage, including the driver's policy and your own if it applies. We handle the insurers directly and are ready to try your case if necessary.

Damages You May Be Entitled To Recover
Depending on the specifics of your case, we may be able to help you recover compensation for:
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the driver says I was jaywalking?
Insurers often try to blame pedestrians for crossing outside a crosswalk, but that does not necessarily end your claim. Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi follow comparative fault rules, so even if you were partly at fault, you may still recover compensation reduced by your share of responsibility. Drivers have a duty to watch for and avoid pedestrians regardless. Our attorneys investigate exactly what happened, use available evidence to establish the driver's negligence, and work to minimize any blame the insurance company tries to place on you.
What insurance covers a pedestrian accident?
Several sources of coverage may apply. The at-fault driver's liability insurance is usually the primary source, but if that coverage is insufficient or the driver fled or was uninsured, your own auto policy may provide uninsured or underinsured motorist benefits, even though you were on foot. Medical payments coverage may also help with treatment costs. Identifying every applicable policy is essential to fully compensating a seriously injured pedestrian. We review all potential coverage so no available recovery is left on the table.
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim?
The deadline depends on the state where you were injured. Georgia generally allows two years, Tennessee can be as short as one year, and Mississippi generally allows three years from the date of the crash. These deadlines are strict, and evidence such as traffic camera footage can be lost within days. Speaking with an attorney soon after the accident protects both your legal deadline and the proof needed to establish the driver's fault and the seriousness of your injuries.
What should I do after being hit by a car?
Call 911 so the police respond and create a report, and get medical care immediately even if you think your injuries are minor. If you are able, note the vehicle and driver information and ask witnesses for their contact details. Take photos of the scene, the vehicle, and your injuries if possible. Do not accept blame at the scene or give a recorded statement to the driver's insurer. Contact an attorney promptly so evidence can be preserved and your rights protected.
How much does a pedestrian accident lawyer cost?
Howe.Law handles pedestrian accident cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee comes as a percentage of the settlement or verdict we obtain, so we are only paid when you are. This allows injured pedestrians and their families to pursue full justice without any financial burden. Your initial consultation is free and comes with no obligation.
Cases We Handle
We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.
Reviews from our Accident and Injury Clients
I googled Collection Attorney and found Howe and Associates. Their receptionist picked up, I introduced myself and explained to her my situation and in no time she got Mr. Richard Howe on the phone with me. I explained my situation and he was very attentive, helpful, nice to me and after carefully listening to me he gave me some encouraging advice and how to go about the right help. He also gave me an open invitation to call him anytime if I ever have any questions. I was very happy God lead me to his firm.
I really just appreciate the professionalism and knowledge given from speaking with your firm during consultation. It definitely makes it feel comfortable if the need to move forward with the service of your firm
Richard was extremely helpful, and even though my case wasn't the best fit for his firm, he took extra time to give me direction and clarity to help me with the next steps... Far beyond what he needed to. I'm extremely grateful I contacted his firm.
I had a question about a collection we are going through and Richard himself answered the call and provided a lot of insight to what our next steps would be at no charge. I highly recommend this firm. They are here to help.
I was in a vulnerable state after my accident and appreciated Nathalie for listening, being compassionate and offering guidance. I am truly grateful I called. Thank you so much!
I was really stressed about everything and didn't know where to start but the team took the time to walk me through each step and made sure I understood what was happening. They explained the whole process in a way that actually made sense and I never felt confused or left in the dark, they were super helpful and responsive whenever I had questions. I'm so grateful for how well they treated me and how easy they made everything feel
