Bus accidents in Atlanta can involve severe injuries, multiple victims, complex insurance claims, and commercial or government transportation companies. Thompson Law helps injured passengers, drivers, pedestrians, and families pursue compensation after serious bus accidents caused by negligence.
Our team handles accidents involving MARTA buses, school buses, charter buses, tour buses, shuttle buses, and other commercial transportation vehicles so clients can focus on treatment and recovery.
Pedestrian accident injuries
Pedestrian accidents often cause catastrophic injuries because pedestrians have little protection during a collision with a moving vehicle.
Head trauma can lead to concussions, memory problems, cognitive impairment, and long-term neurological complications.
Serious pedestrian accidents may cause spinal damage, chronic pain, mobility loss, or permanent paralysis.
The force of impact can cause fractures to the legs, hips, ribs, pelvis, shoulders, and other major bones.
Internal bleeding, organ damage, and fatal injuries are unfortunately common in high-impact pedestrian collisions.
Pedestrian accident injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care that can affect every aspect of daily life.

Pedestrian accident liability
Pedestrian accident cases may involve multiple potentially liable parties depending on how the collision happened and whether unsafe driving, road conditions, or other factors contributed to the crash.
Drivers may be liable for speeding, distracted driving, failure to yield at crosswalks, unsafe turns, or failing to watch for pedestrians.
If the driver was working at the time of the collision, an employer or commercial company may also share responsibility for the accident.
Uber, Lyft, and delivery drivers often operate in congested areas where distracted driving and frequent stops can increase pedestrian accident risks.
Dangerous intersections, broken traffic signals, poor lighting, or unsafe crosswalk designs may contribute to some pedestrian accidents.
Defective brakes, steering systems, or other vehicle failures can sometimes contribute to serious pedestrian collisions.
Pedestrian accident investigations
After a pedestrian accident, insurance companies may quickly begin investigating the collision and looking for ways to reduce liability or shift blame onto the injured pedestrian.
Insurance companies may argue the pedestrian was outside a crosswalk or entered traffic unexpectedly.
Statements made shortly after an accident may later be used to dispute injuries or reduce compensation.
Nearby businesses, intersections, and traffic cameras may contain important footage showing how the collision happened.
Georgia comparative negligence laws may affect compensation if the insurance company claims the pedestrian was partially at fault.
Pedestrian accident claims often involve severe injuries, disputed liability, and insurance investigations. Preserving evidence early can be an important part of protecting your claim.
Atlanta pedestrian accident hotspots
Heavy traffic, busy intersections, distracted driving, nightlife congestion, and high-speed roadways contribute to many serious pedestrian accidents throughout Atlanta.
Heavy foot traffic, rideshare activity, and frequent intersections increase pedestrian accident risks along Peachtree Street.
Congested intersections, tourism, public transportation, and constant traffic flow create dangerous conditions for pedestrians.
Dense pedestrian traffic, nightlife activity, and distracted driving contribute to serious pedestrian collisions in Midtown.
High-speed traffic near entrance ramps, exits, and surrounding intersections can increase risks for nearby pedestrians.
Failure-to-yield accidents commonly happen at crosswalks, intersections, and areas with heavy turning traffic.
Reduced visibility, impaired driving, and crowded streets may increase pedestrian accident risks during nighttime hours.
Pedestrian accidents in Atlanta often involve severe injuries, disputed liability, and long-term physical and financial recovery challenges.
We don’t just want to win – we want to fight to get all the compensation you deserve.
