Tybee Island is Savannah’s beach community with a permanent population of approximately 3,100 residents — but that number swells dramatically during tourist season, bringing tens of thousands of daily visitors to an island served by a single access road. This creates one of the most uniquely dangerous traffic environments in the Savannah metro area.
Tybee Island has no hospital. Every serious injury requires transport via US-80 to mainland Savannah hospitals, a drive that can take 25 minutes or more under normal conditions and significantly longer during peak beach traffic. Pedestrian accidents are a particular concern along Butler Avenue, where distracted beachgoers cross high-traffic commercial areas. Roden Law handles injury cases on Tybee Island including car accidents, pedestrian injuries, bicycle crashes, golf cart collisions, and premises liability claims at hotels, restaurants, and rental properties.
