Beasley Allen announced this week they have secured a $162 million settlement for the victims of one of Georgia’s deadliest automobile accidents that killed seven women and badly injured nine others in 2021.
The accident involved a 2003 Dodge Ram van carrying 16 women to an addiction treatment meeting. The driver lost control of the vehicle on Interstate 85 in Gwinnett County, causing it to flip over and slide across two lanes of traffic before catching fire.
Alan Hamilton of Shiver Hamilton Campbell in Atlanta commented on the challenges faced during litigation, noting, “This case was very different by the time it got to the end of the case than it was at the beginning. We didn’t go after the easy money, we didn’t go after the simple, quick settlement; we went after the hard fought settlement and we had to learn a lot about the case.”
