Why Choose Ferguson & Ferguson Attorneys at Law?

✔ Local North Alabama Representation

We understand the courts, judges, and insurance defense tactics used in North Alabama injury cases.

✔ We Fight Alabama’s Strict Contributory Negligence Rule

Alabama follows one of the toughest negligence standards in the country. If insurers claim you were even 1% at fault, they may try to deny your case entirely.

We aggressively build evidence to defeat those arguments.

✔ Serious Injury Experience

Pedestrian accidents often cause catastrophic injuries, including:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord damage
Broken bones and fractures
Internal organ injuries
Permanent disability
Wrongful death

We work with medical experts and financial professionals to calculate the full lifetime impact of your injury.

Where Pedestrian Accidents Happen in Athens

Many serious pedestrian crashes occur near:

Busy intersections and crosswalks
Retail areas and shopping centers
School zones
Residential neighborhoods
Poorly lit roadways

Drivers who speed, text, drive impaired, or fail to yield must be held accountable. Over 8,000 pedestrians were killed on our nation’s roads in crashes involving a motor vehicle in 2022. That’s about one death every 64 minutes. In 2019, 71 percent of all fatal Alabama pedestrian crashes were caused by the pedestrian. Pedestrian fatalities have increased 81 percent since 2010, which traffic safety professionals attribute largely to distracted walking with electronic devices like cell phones.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

You may be entitled to compensation for:

Economic Damages

Medical expenses (past & future)
Lost wages
Loss of earning capacity
Ongoing therapy & rehabilitation

Non-Economic Damages

Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of quality of life
Permanent disfigurement

At Ferguson & Ferguson, we pursue maximum compensation — not quick settlements.

Seek immediate medical attention
Call law enforcement and obtain a crash report
Take photographs and collect witness information
Do NOT give a recorded statement to the insurance company
Contact an experienced pedestrian accident attorney immediately

Time-sensitive evidence can disappear quickly. Early legal action protects your case.
