Roadside workers frequent victims of accidents

by The Stefanie Drake Burford Law Group | Mar 28, 2019 | motor vehicle accidents

When there is road work in Georgia, workers are often in danger from drivers who do not adhere to the warnings to slow down. When there is an accident, these workers are vulnerable to serious injuries and fatalities. In some instances, the driver will compound the situation by fleeing the scene. When people have been hurt or families lost a loved one in a motor vehicle accident, a legal filing is often the only viable strategy to recover sufficient compensation for all they have lost.

A 40-year-old roadside worker died when a vehicle did not slow down. The vehicle ignored the signals to shift into a different lane. When the worker realized that the vehicle was going to hit the trailer he was on, he jumped off. The driver then tried to pass the trailer and hit the worker. The driver did not stop after the accident; however, witnesses pursued him and informed deputies as to his identity. The driver was arrested on multiple charges. The investigation is continuing.

Motor vehicle accidents are always difficult to deal with. When it is a fatal accident, it is far worse. There will be funeral costs, a loss of companionship, lost contributions, and other issues that will arise.

The family must consider their interests and obtain help from a law firm that can assess the case. The evidence is essential to maximize compensation. Calling a law firm experienced in motor vehicle accidents can be of great assistance to those in these frightening and serious situations.
