Our law firm is saddened to report yet another tragic accident occurring on Georgia's roadways. According to reports, Thomas Haugh, 53, of Suwanee lost his life in an accident occurring on Suwanee Dam Road near North Gwinnett High School on Thursday morning, June 3, 2010. According to police statements, Mr. Haugh was riding a 2007 Kawasaki motorcycle northbound on Suwanee Dam Road when the operator of a southbound 2009 Honda Civic entered his path in an effort to turn into the high school. The Gwinnett police suggest that an initial investigation has determined that the operator of the Honda driver was at-fault, but criminal charges are pending until a more thorough investigation is completed.
If the operator of the Honda Civic is found to be criminally at fault in causing this incident, the driver may also be held liable in a civil action for the wrongful death of Mr. Haugh. Mr. Haugh's family is entitled to damages for their loss, and any recovery may ultimately depend upon the insurance coverage held by operator of the Honda Civic. Based upon our firm's experience in these types of cases, we understand that it is critical that the lawyers for Mr. Haugh's family immediately conduct an independent investigation and ensure that any and all evidence, including the vehicles involved, is preserved.
Our personal injury and wrongful death law firm represents families who have lost a loved one at the fault of another. As such, we know firsthand how difficult and traumatic this experience may be for Mr. Haugh's family. We extend our condolences to Mr. Haugh's family and offer our legal assistance if needed.
