Hit Walking on Buford Highway? Buddy Fights for Pedestrian Victims.
Buford Highway is one of the most dangerous pedestrian corridors in the South. Wide lanes, fast cars, sparse crosswalks — and drivers who blame the pedestrian. We push back hard.
Why Buford Highway Is Different
Six lanes wide, 45+ MPH speed limit, crosswalks every quarter-mile. Pedestrian crashes here are routinely fatal.
- Crossing-where-no-crosswalk-exists crashes
- Failure-to-yield at signals
- Distracted-driving strikes
- Hit-and-run incidents
What We Do for You
Move fast on evidence. Skid marks fade. Cam footage gets overwritten. ELD logs get edited.
- Pull police reports + traffic-cam footage
- Identify every liable party + policy
- Fight for medical bills + lost wages
- No fee unless we win
Four Ways Buford Highway Hurts Pedestrians
Buford Highway runs through the most densely-populated immigrant neighborhoods in metro Atlanta. Pedestrian fatalities here are 3x the regional average. We know how to fight insurance.
No-Crosswalk Strike
Crosswalks are sparse. Drivers blame the pedestrian — we prove the road design is at fault.
Failure to Yield
Drivers running red lights or failing to yield at marked crosswalks.
Distracted Driver
Cell-phone-distracted drivers don’t see pedestrians until too late.
Hit-and-Run
Drivers flee after striking pedestrians. Your UM coverage often kicks in.
Crosswalk Distance Matters.
On Buford Highway the nearest crosswalk is often 1,000+ feet away. That gap helps your case more than it hurts.
Evidence Has a Shelf Life.
Cameras and witnesses fade fast. Skid marks disappear within days. Acting in the first week wins cases.
How long traffic-cam footage stays
County and DOT cameras along Buford Highway typically retain footage 30-60 days. Witness memories fade fast. We send spoliation letters within 48 hours of being retained.
What We Recover for Crash Victims
Atlanta crash claims have two sides: hard costs you can document, and the long-term impact on your life. We build and prove both.
Direct Costs — Documented
- ER, hospital, surgery, and follow-up care
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Prescription medications and medical equipment
- Lost wages from missed work
- Property damage and rental-car costs
Long-Term Impact — Future Losses
- Diminished earning capacity
- Future medical care and surgeries
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Punitive damages (drunk drivers, gross negligence)
How We Build Your Case
Every personal-injury case is a negligence case. We establish the four elements and stack every available policy.
Duty
The other driver owed you a duty of safe driving on Georgia roads.
Breach
That duty was violated — speeding, distracted, drunk, or negligent.
Causation
The breach directly caused your injuries and losses.
Damages
You suffered real, measurable harm — medical, financial, personal.

Buford Highway Crash FAQ
I was hit walking on Buford Highway. What do I do first?+
Get to safety, call 911, and accept medical attention even if you “feel okay” — adrenaline masks injuries. Then call us, ideally before talking to any insurance company. We move on evidence preservation within 48 hours.
How long does a Spaghetti Junction case take?+
Simple cases settle in 60-120 days. Cases involving commercial trucks, multiple vehicles, or contested liability typically take 6-18 months. We never pressure you to settle for less just to close the case faster.
What if the at-fault driver had no insurance or fled the scene?+
Your own UM/UIM (uninsured/underinsured motorist) coverage typically kicks in. Most Georgia drivers don’t realize they have it — we’ll find every policy that applies, including yours.
What’s the deadline to file a claim?+
Generally two years from the date of the crash under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Cases against government entities (e.g., GDOT for road defects) have shorter deadlines — sometimes 6 months. Call early.
Do you charge anything up front?+
No. Consultations are free and we only charge a 25% contingency fee if we recover on your behalf — well below the 33-40% most Atlanta firms charge.
