What if my child was killed in a car accident caused by a drunk driver?
Georgia law permits both compensatory and punitive damages when a child’s death results from a DUI crash. Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-5.1, punitive damages are available in cases of willful misconduct, malice, fraud, or conscious indifference to consequences — and DUI driving has consistently been found to meet this standard by Georgia courts. Punitive damages are not subject to the same cap as other cases. Haug Barron Law Group aggressively pursues all available damages in DUI wrongful death cases.
