North Carolina Personal Injury Attorney Perspective:

While details of this car accident are still in question, there were nine people in this vehicle, and the driver lost control and hit a tree. This indicates there were probably too many people in the Jeep, and the driver was somehow distracted. Drivers always need to be sure that their focus is on the road when the car is in motion, or something terrible can happen. We hope all victims of this crash recover soon.

A North Carolina personal injury lawyer may be able to instruct victims the possibility of financial restitution for their injuries, by filing a civil law suit against the driver. They could be eligible for financial compensation for their pain and suffering, medical expenses and lost wages.
