The initial investigation shows that the 34-year-old driver of a BMW convertible lost control of his car and crashed off the side of the road. The impact threw the passenger from the vehicle, causing serious injury. The driver was also injured although not as severely as his friend.
Emergency rescue personnel took both men to a nearby hospital where the passenger died as a result of his injuries. At the time of a report on the accident, the driver had been admitted to the hospital but is expected to fully recover. Police do not plan to charge the driver until their investigation has concluded.

As Georgia has its own time constraints and laws specific to the state, a knowledgeable attorney will be able to answer any questions regarding a potential client’s case and then fight for the rights of those left behind.
