The investigation is ongoing according to media outlets.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this incident continue to develop, and if the driver is found to be at fault, Willie Mims’ family may elect to file civil claims for their loss.

Based upon its experience and success handling pedestrian claims in Georgia, The Murray Law Firm suggests that Mr. Mims’ family should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect his interests and ensure an unbiased investigation.
