A one vehicle car accident occurring on South McDonough Road in Griffin, Georgia on Monday, May 31, 2010 has left 3 people injured according to reports reviewed by our personal injury law firm. According to news reports and Georgia State Patrol statements, Wesley Bell, 18, of Griffin was driving a Chevrolet Corsica when he lost control of the vehicle and struck a bridge just north of 1401 South McDonough Road. The Georgia State Patrol suggests that its investigation has revealed that Mr. Bell had leaned over to talk to his front-seat passenger, a 16 year old female whose name has yet to be released, and took his eyes off the road. The front seat passenger was apparently airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital with injuries including a broken leg and a broken arm. Mr. Bell and a rear seat passenger, Torrey Pope, were reportedly transported to Spalding Regional Medical Center where they were treated and released. The Georgia State Patrol has indicated that Mr. Bell would be charged with failure to maintain lane.
Given Mr. Bell's apparent fault in causing this car accident, he may be held civilly liable for the injuries that he caused to his passengers. The passengers may elect to pursue a claim against Mr. Bell and his insurance carrier for the medical expenses that they have incurred, as well as the pain and suffering that they have experienced. It is important that the passengers consult an experienced law firm as soon as possible so that lawyers may seek to preserve the evidence relating to this accident.
