Joel Holden Injured in Savannah Pedestrian Accident

Savannah Pedestrian Accident (WTOC)

Savannah News

A 44-year-old man from Alpharetta was reportedly struck by a car while attempting to cross Abercorn Street in Savannah Monday evening, January 28, 2019, according The Savannah Morning News.

Savannah police told WTOC 11, the victim “was transported to the hospital in serious condition.” It is unclear whether the driver will be facing charges.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this incident continue to develop, and if the driver is found to be at fault, the pedestrian may elect to file civil claims for his injuries.

Based upon its experience and success handling pedestrian claims in Georgia, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the victim should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect his interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. Photographs of the roadways involved and a review of surveillance footage from nearby businesses or properties, if any exists, will need to be performed immediately before any evidence is damaged or destroyed.

The Murray Law Firm has obtained over $100 million dollars in verdicts and settlements for its Clients, including for victims of Georgia pedestrian accidents such as this one. We represent our Clients on a contingency agreement, which generally means that no fees or payments are owed until and unless we recover. Anyone seeking further information or legal representation is encouraged to contact us via e-mail (click here) or by telephone at 912.385.9690 in Savannah or 404.842.1600 in Atlanta. Consultations are free and confidential.

58-year-old Teresa Owen Gracia was struck and killed while crossing a Macon roadway Wednesday morning, December 19, 2018.

According to 41 NBC, the pedestrian accident occurred “around 7:00am Wednesday on Eisenhower Parkway near Log Cabin Drive.”  Police told FOX 24, Ms. Gracia was crossing the road when she was struck by a Honda Accord. Ms. Gracia was transported to Navicent, where she tragically succumbed to fatal injuries. It is unclear whether the driver will face charges.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this tragedy continue to develop, and if the Honda driver is found to be at fault, the family of Teresa Owen Gracia may elect to file civil claims in her wrongful death.

Based upon its experience and success handling pedestrian claims in Georgia, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the Gracia family should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. Photographs of the vehicles and roadways involved and a review of traffic surveillance footage will need to be performed immediately before any evidence is damaged or destroyed.

The Murray Law Firm is taking an active role to curb a practice commonly known as “ambulance chasing.” In each of our blogs, we are informing our readers that, pursuant to the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct, a lawyer or anyone acting on behalf of a lawyer may not engage a potential client “through direct personal contact or through live telephone contact.”

As a personal injury and wrongful death law firm, we have long been aware of the unscrupulous practices of some attorneys in this field who use unethical and illegal measures to obtain clientele.

SAC EM Square.jpgThe immoral practices of a few have, unfortunately, given rise to a public distrust of many. The term ‘ambulance chaser’ has become synonymous with a field of law, which at its best, exists solely to empower people over corporations and insurance companies, to serve those harmed by the negligence of others and to guide everyday citizens to justice through what is often a daunting and complex legal system.

We are saddened to acknowledge that some in the field have tarnished this noble mission through a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct, which is why we are proud to announce we are taking an active approach to ridding our community of those firms and attorneys that would harm the people and practice, which we care for so deeply.

The Murray Law Firm has achieved the Martindale Hubbell AV Preeminent rating, an honor achieved by meeting the highest ethical standards in our field, as attested to by judges and other attorneys who serve to better the practice.

In support of our commitment to high moral and ethical practices, in 2013 The Murray Law Firm created the S.A.C.’EM Campaign (Stop Ambulance Chasing Ethical Movement), which is committed to rooting out lawyers who violate Rule 7.3 of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct. Together, with our clients, the State Bar of Georgia and fellow attorneys committed to the highest ethical integrity, we will fight to stop this unethical practice that has become an epidemic in the legal profession.

If you have been injured and have been directly contacted by a lawyer or an individual acting on behalf of a lawyer, please notify The Murray Law Firm at 888.842.1616 and we will assist you in reporting the lawyer or individual to the appropriate authority.
