A one car accident on Saturday night claimed the life of Mr. Anthony Moss, a 21-year-old resident of Stone Mountain, Georgia. Mr. Moss was driving a Corvette on Peachtree Road near Buckhead when he apparently lost control of the vehicle and struck a utility pole. A passenger in the Corvette was seriously injured, and the passenger was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital. The condition of the passenger was not immediately known. Several witnesses to the accident suggested that Mr. Moss was speeding just before losing control of the vehicle, and one witness said "It was pretty frightening to see that happen."
Based upon witness accounts, it would appear that Mr. Moss was negligent in causing the accident and, as such, his injured passenger would be entitled to a substantial financial recovery. Given this circumstance, it is important that the family of the injured passenger quickly gather all information relating to Mr. Moss' insurance carrier as the law requires that the insurer be placed on immediate notice of the accident. As an Atlanta car accident law firm, we have all too often seen injured car accident victims go uncompensated for their injuries based upon a simple failure to timely pursue a claim with the at-fault driver's insurance carrier. This was a tragic event that could, apparently, have been prevented. As such, we hope that the injured passenger receives the full financial award that he or she is entitled to.
