My family member was killed by an uninsured driver. Can we recover UM benefits?

My family member was killed by an uninsured driver. Can we recover UM benefits?

Yes. Georgia’s wrongful death statute, O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2, entitles surviving spouses and children to the “full value of the life” of the decedent—an extraordinarily broad damages measure with no statutory cap. UM/UIM coverage is often the primary source of recovery in fatal accidents involving uninsured drivers. HBLG has recovered millions for grieving Georgia families in exactly these circumstances, including a $30,000,000 wrongful death verdict in DeKalb County obtained jointly by James R. Haug and Colin A. Barron (the Butler case). Call us: (844) HAUG-LAW / 844-428-4529.
