Helping Pedestrians Recover From Serious Accidents

Georgia pedestrians are at a distinct disadvantage when they encounter negligent drivers. With no structure or safety devices protecting them, they risk severe injuries in an accident. If you or a loved one has been hurt by an inattentive or reckless driver, it is important to have an attorney looking out for your interests and pursuing the full compensation you deserve for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and other damages.

For more than 25 years, the attorneys at Isenberg & Hewitt, PC, have been standing up for victims of driver negligence in Atlanta. We will work closely with you to make sure you understand your rights and then pursue a settlement or verdict that provides for your needs now and in the future.
