Savannah GA Wrongful Death Lawyer
Wrongful deaths can occur as a result of a motor vehicle accident. Sometimes the other driver or person might not be responsible for the wrongful death from the fatal accident. The cause of the accident will determine the type of wrongful death case, and the responsible party. The municipal bodies have the responsibility of maintaining the roads and street lights. If the poor condition of the road or the lack of proper street lighting is the cause of a fatal accident, then the municipal body can be sued for wrongful death.
Those who drink and drive knowingly put others at risk. If the driver responsible for the accident was legally drunk at the time of the accident, he may be liable to pay punitive damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage in addition to compensation. In many cases, the owner of the car that allowed the drunk person to drive the car can be held responsible for putting the keys in the hands of the drunk person. This is known as negligent entrustment. Forty-three states and the District of Columbia have statutes or case laws that hold commercial servers of alcohol liable for the harm caused by their intoxicated patrons. Some of these laws have limitations.
