Recoverable Damages in a Garden City Fatal Traffic Accident
At Bader Law Injury Lawyers, our Garden City personal injury lawyers help families pursue justice based on O.C.G.A § 51-4-1 to 51-4-6. Under this statute, certain family members can file a wrongful death action and seek a payout from the at-fault party. This includes:
- The spouse, who has the first right to file, also represents the interests of any minor children
- Surviving children, if there is no spouse
- Parents, if the victim was a child or had no spouse or children
- The personal representative, also known as the executor, can file on behalf of the estate to collect money for certain damages
Depending on the details of the case, the recoverable damages could include:
- Loss of income and benefits
- Loss of care, companionship, and support
- Medical expenses before death
- Funeral and burial costs
- Pain and suffering that the victim experienced before their death
- Property damage and other related losses
No amount of money can ever make up for this loss, but your family deserves to have their emotional and financial losses acknowledged.

Who Can I Hold Accountable for My Loved One’s Garden City Death?
Bader Law Injury Lawyers knows how to identify the liable parties and hold them accountable. Under Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule, the family of a crash victim can pursue a wrongful death action as long as their loved one was less than 50 percent responsible for the accident.
To this end, our attorneys need to determine fault and liability. We also identify all potentially liable parties and build a case to recover fair compensation.
The potentially liable parties in a fatal Garden City traffic accident could include:
- A negligent driver who caused the crash by violating a traffic law
- The employer of the at-fault driver, when the driver was working at the time the crash occurred
- A rideshare company, if the driver was working for Uber or Lyft when the crash occurred
- A government entity, if the victim was killed in a school bus accident or otherwise harmed by a government worker
- An auto manufacturer, if a defective auto part caused or contributed to their death

What Evidence Is Necessary to Build a Strong Garden City Fatal Car Accident Case?
When our attorneys hold an at-fault driver or another liable party accountable for a fatal crash, we generally do so by demanding fair compensation from their insurer or suing them in civil court and asking the judge or jury to award fair compensation.
Either of these routes requires having strong evidence to show what happened, why, and how the accused party is accountable. Our team investigates these crashes all the time and understands the types of evidence that can make a difference.
Each case is unique and may have its own unique types of evidence. However, some of the most common evidence we use in these cases includes:
- The police report, which officially documents the collision, including any citations
- Crash scene photos of vehicle damage, skid marks, road conditions, and other factors
- Surveillance or dashcam footage of the crash
- Witness statements from drivers, passengers, or bystanders
- The autopsy report, including all injuries and the cause of death
- Relevant medical records, if there was treatment before their death
- Funeral and burial bills, medical bills, and other evidence of damages
- Expert testimony from accident reconstructionists, medical experts, and economists
