Pursuant to O.C.G.A. \u00a7 40-6-93, \u201cNotwithstanding other provisions of this chapter, every driver of a vehicle shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian upon any roadway, shall give warning by sounding his horn when necessary, and shall exercise proper precautions upon observing any child or any obviously confused, incapacitated, or intoxicated person.\u201d Drivers should take several actions to avoid colliding with pedestrians.Blind Spots: Drivers may fail to check their blind spots before changing lanes or reversing their vehicle.Speed: Drivers may have been operating at a speed unsafe for the prevailing road conditions.Distraction: A driver may have been distracted by their phone or other objects.Intoxication: A driver may have been intoxicated by alcohol or other substances. Even over-the-counter medications can impair a person\u2019s ability to operate a vehicle safely.Car accidents are often complex events. The factors that could contribute to any collision could take place hours, days, or even weeks prior to the actual crash. There could also be several liable parties. This is particularly true if one driver was working at the time of a crash. Employers in Georgia can be liable for the wrongful actions of their employees operating within their job duties.Steps to Take After a Grady County Car Accident\u00a0Many pedestrian accidents involve drivers who are intoxicated. According to the NHTSA, \u201cEvery day, about 34 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes \u2014 that’s one person every 42 minutes. In 2023, 12,429 people died in alcohol-impaired driving traffic deaths.\u201d It is important that certain actions are taken after any car accidents.Accident Investigation: The police should be called to the scene as early as possible so that they can begin an investigation.Photos: Many photos of the accident site should be taken.Medical Records: All medical records related to injuries should be reviewed.Legal Review: The details of any collision should be carefully reviewed by someone with extensive knowledge of personal injury law.The vast majority of pedestrian accidents are preventable. It can be hard to know where to begin after any collision. This is particularly true when a crash results in a fatality. The family of any person who died in a pedestrian collision may be able to seek some measure of accountability through a wrongful death claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover many of the losses and injuries associated with a major accident.Investigating Georgia Car AccidentsWe at\u00a0Butler Kahn\u00a0extend our\u00a0deepest condolences\u00a0to the family of the man who died in this Grady County car accident.
