Georgia Wrongful Death Verdict $1.3 Million

In DeKalb County State Court, a jury awarded a Plaintiff $1,300,000.00 in wrongful death damages resulting from an interstate auto-accident.

* Attorney Richard Griffin: "This case involved a wrongful death claim which resulted from a carwreck. In a wrongful death lawsuit, the plaintiff(s) are the surviving family members of the victim who died in the auto accident. The family members who may have a wrongful death claim include the spouse, the parents, the children, and the estate. The damages for a wrongful death claim include medical expenses, pain and suffering, and the value of the life that was taken. The value of a life includes not only the economic damages (lost income and support), but also the non-economic damages (the value of the life to the family and community). Wrongful death claims always involve families that have been shattered. No amount of money can replace the families loss of a loved one."
