Car Accidents in Buford Highway, Georgia

Buford Highway through Doraville is a six-lane corridor that serves as the backbone of the Atlanta metro's international dining and shopping district. Hundreds of restaurants, grocery stores, and small businesses generate constant pedestrian activity along a road designed primarily for vehicle throughput. GDOT data consistently ranks this Buford Highway segment among Georgia's most dangerous corridors for pedestrians, with inadequate crosswalk spacing and limited median refuges contributing to a disproportionate number of fatal and serious-injury pedestrian crashes.

Georgia Auto Law represents Buford Highway accident victims in DeKalb County courts. Pedestrian crashes along this corridor often reveal systemic infrastructure failures — missing crosswalks, insufficient lighting, and inadequate pedestrian signals. Our attorneys investigate both driver negligence and road design deficiencies, pursuing claims against all responsible parties including GDOT and local governments where infrastructure failures contributed to the collision.
