Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Georgia
Fatal crashes occur far too often in our state. In many instances, innocent lives are lost in these fatal collisions due to the reckless and negligent behavior of other drivers sharing the road. Unfortunately, the aftermath of fatal accidents often results in substantial suffering for bereaved families. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the passing of your loved one, your family may have the opportunity to initiate a legal claim for compensation against the responsible party. Some common forms of economic and non-economic damages pursued in wrongful death cases include:
- Lost income
- The loss of parental guidance (for children)
- Funeral expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses
- Lost inheritance
- The loss of future earnings
- The loss of companionship (for spouses)
- The loss of social security benefits
