UPDATE: Defendants Drop Georgia Appeal, Leaving Verdict Intact.
Larry Morris and Randy Haynes, partners at Morris, Haynes & Hornsby, represented Jeanette Holloway and Connie Meadows, two senior citizens from Randolph County, Alabama, who were injured in a one-vehicle van accident in LaGrange, Georgia in November of 2009. On the way back from a Woodland Senior Center trip to Calloway Gardens, the van’s driver missed a curve on Highway 27 just outside of LaGrange, causing the van to run off the road and down a steep embankment. As a result, Mrs. Holloway was rendered a quadriplegic and eventually passed away as a result of these injuries. Mrs. Meadow’s injuries were less severe but she underwent surgery on her knee after suffering a right tibial fracture. The Defendants appealed the verdict in December of 2010, but dropped the appeal once briefs were filed.
