A motor vehicle accident tragically claimed the lives of two adults and injured a young child, Sunday, February 17, 2019.  The two-vehicle accident happened “around 11:25 a.m. Sunday morning on Highway 80 near Key Road,” reports WTOC.com.   According to WSAV.com, “Georgia State Patrol has identified the victims as Durwood Glenn Haire, 39 of Savannah, and 39-year-old Kathleen Sherrice Wilson, of Pembroke.” WTOC.com is reporting that “[a] 10-year-old girl who was a passenger in [Ms.] Wilson’s vehicle was injured and transported to Memorial Medical Center with serious injuries.”

According to WTOC.com, the accident reportedly happened when “[one] vehicle crossed the center line and ran into [the other] vehicle.”

Our Legal Take

As the details of this tragedy continue to develop, and depending on who is deemed to be at fault in causing the accident, the families of the victims may elect to seek justice and file a civil claim for the wrongful death of their loved one.  Additionally, the family of the young girl injured in the incident may pursue a legal claim for her injuries. Based upon its extensive experience and success handling these types of motor vehicle claims in Georgia, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the victims and their families should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. Photographs of the roadways and vehicles 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.

Dawson County News

A dump truck accident in Dawson County caused injuries and heavy traffic Monday afternoon, February 18, 2019.

The accident happened “around 4 p.m. at the intersection of GA-400 and Georgia Highway 53,” according to Fox5Atlanta.com. This intersection is just north of the North Georgia Premium Outlets. AJC.com is reporting that “[t]he wreck happened when a dump truck ran a red light, swerved and spilled its load on top of a[n] SUV in the intersection….”  According to the AJC.com report, the accident “sent two people to the hospital with serious injuries.”

Media outlets indicate the accident is still under investigation.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this accident continue to develop, and if the dump truck driver is determined to be at fault, the victims may elect to seek justice and file civil claims for their injuries. Based upon its extensive experience and success handling these types of motor vehicle claims in Georgia, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the victims should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. As multiple injuries resulted from this accident, there will likely be competing claims for any available insurance proceeds.  Thus, it is imperative that legal representation is secured without delay.
