The driver of a pickup truck lost control, left the highway and went down a ravine while driving during one of Georgia's tricky winter storms. What is also tricky for our Georgia personal injury & vehicle accident law firm is how to make out a good case against a negligent driver and their insurance company when the roads are slick with ice or snow..Sometimes the driver negligence is clear: such as driving too fast for conditions, failing to yield the right of way, following too close, etc. But in these icy conditions, an accident can happen even where someone drives carefully. Sometimes the icy conditions are really the sole cause. When we investigate these winter road traffic collisions we look at the police investigation, weather reports, D.O.T. road reports, interview witnesses & the police officer, as just some of the factors to determine if it is a valid case. We want to be sure that we can be successful in handling every case for our clients.
