Fatal Car Crashes
Fatal car crashes are the leading cause of wrongful death claims in Georgia. Speed, distraction, impairment, and reckless driving are the most common causes. Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-4-1), the surviving spouse has the first right to file a wrongful death claim, followed by children, then parents.
Georgia uses the "full value of the life" standard for wrongful death damages, which is among the most comprehensive in the country. This includes projected lifetime earnings, the value of household services and companionship, and reasonable medical and funeral expenses. Georgia Auto Law retains economists and life-care planners to calculate the full value of the life lost.
