If the anesthesia error was caused by negligence — meaning the provider deviated from the accepted standard of care — your family may have a wrongful death claim under O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2. Wrongful death damages include the full value of your loved one’s life, which a Georgia jury assesses based on their earning potential, life expectancy, and personal contributions. Contact Haug Barron Law Group immediately. The two-year statute of limitations begins running from the date of death.
