$5,835,000 Georgia Jury Verdict for Wrongful Death Caused By DUI Driver
(6) In Fulton County State Court, a jury awarded a Plaintiff $5,835,000.00 in wrongful death and pain and suffering damages in a auto-accident involving a drunk driver.
* Lawyer Richard Griffin: This case involves a wrongful death claim which means the family or estate recovered for the value of the victims life. The value of a life is determined by the jury and includes both economic (lost income over the projected life of the victim) and the non-economic damages (value of the life to the family and community). This case also involved a drunk driver which creates punitive damage exposure. Punitive damage is a damage to punish the defendant for actions that are not only negligent, but also, show a reckless disregard for human life."
