A motor vehicle accident tragically claimed the life of one and injured two others, Monday, February 11, 2019.
Three vehicles, a Lincoln, a Nissan, and a Toyota were involved in the accident on Beaver Ruin Road, according to AJC.com. Per the news outlet, “[t]he Lincoln crossed the center turn lane and struck the Nissan nearly head-on,…[following which the] Toyota…struck the Nissan from behind.” “The driver of the Nissan, Erica Everett, died as a result of the crash…[while] two people inside the Toyota suffered minor injuries.” According to statements from investigating authorities, the driver of the Lincoln was “arrested…on a DUI charge…[and] will also be charged with failing to maintain her lane and first-degree vehicular homicide.”
Our Legal Take
As the details of this tragedy continue to develop, the family of Erica Everett may elect to seek justice and file a civil claim for her wrongful death. Additionally, any injured survivors of this accident may pursue legal claims for their injuries. Based upon its extensive experience and success handling these types of motor vehicle claims in Georgia and the Atlanta area, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the Ms. Everett’s family, as well as the other victims of the incident, 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.
