What if I was a pedestrian or bicyclist hit by a garbage truck?

Pedestrians and bicyclists are among the most seriously injured victims in garbage truck accidents due to the truck’s size, blind spots, and low-speed backing patterns. Your claims proceed under the same municipal/private analysis — but pedestrian injuries in these cases often involve some of the most significant medical damages and the strongest negligence arguments. Georgia does not require pedestrians to carry no-fault coverage, so all damages flow through the at-fault party’s liability coverage.
