Can I bring a wrongful death claim if my child was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Georgia?

Yes — though pursuing compensation in a hit-and-run case requires a specialized approach. If the at-fault driver cannot be identified, your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage under O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11 may cover your child’s wrongful death damages. Georgia’s UM statute provides important protections for victims of hit-and-run accidents. Haug Barron Law Group will work with law enforcement, private investigators, and surveillance sources to attempt to identify the responsible driver while simultaneously pursuing all available insurance remedies for your family.
