Georgia Pedestrian Involved Accidents

Hitting a pedestrian while driving a car is no doubt a terrifying event for both the driver and the pedestrian. Unfortunately, it is not an uncommon one. In 2009 (the most recent research I could find) a little over 4000 pedestrians were hit by cars and another 59,000 were injured by cars in the United States alone. At speeds of over 30 miles per hour produces far more serious injuries and grave fatalities. Yet a driver traveling at a rate of speed of only 10 miles per hour has the capability to severely cripple a pedestrian should they hit one. 

The police officer on the scene will file a  police report which will contain his version of the events as he believes they happened. He forms his opinion by taking statements from and drivers and passengers involved in the accident, and any eyewitnesses he can find as well. If the officer gets competing or conflicting stories from those involved then he may do additional investigating to try and determine the sequence of events and find out who was at fault. His findings, however, might be disputed by the car insurance companies. Insurance companies will often send a man of their own known as an insurance adjuster to view the scene of the accident and any claimed damage to various persons or properties.
