The loss of a family member or loved one is a tragedy of immense proportion. When tragedy strikes through the carelessness or lack of safety precautions by a negligent party, family members should be compensated for the losses. Those losses, over time, can be staggering. In Georgia, the measure of damages for wrongful death is the full value of the life of the deceased, from the perspective of the decedent. These damages include both economic damages (lifetime income, with no deduction for living expenses or income taxes) and intangible factors such as the loss of the enjoyment of life to the decedent.
