A DUI injury claim can help you recover the funds you need to compensate for the lost income of your loved one, as well as deal with funeral costs, medical bills, emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium.
While no amount of money or gesture can replace what you have lost, the state of Georgia has established a DUI Memorial Fund for the benefit of those lost to drunk driving accidents and to remind drivers to make wise decisions on the road.
The fund is facilitated by the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program and will pay for the Department of Transportation to erect a memorial sign in the proximity of the crash site that claimed your loved one.
In order to be eligible, the next of kin must submit an application to the Compensation Program and there must be a charge of vehicular homicide under the Georgia DUI statute on file.
Losing a loved one to a senseless crime like a DUI can leave your family with a gaping hole that no amount of money or memorials can fill, but it adds insult to injury when you and your family are left with unmanageable costs as the result of someone else’s recklessness.
