Yes, several parties could potentially be held liable for any wrongful death case in Georgia. This is commonly referred to as “joint and several liability.” Here are some common examples of cases where there could be multiple liable parties.
- Car Accidents: A driver and vehicle manufacturer could potentially be liable for a collision, provided that there was some type of defect with a car that caused the crash.
- Medical Malpractice: A physician and hospital could potentially be liable for any incident of medical malpractice.
- Workplace Accidents: Workers will typically be able to recover through George’s workers compensation system. They may also be able to recover through a third-party liability claim. For example, a third-party contractor could be liable for a worker’s injuries if it was caused by their failure to maintain safety standards.
- Defective Products: When consumers are injured by faulty products, the manufacturer and the retailer of the product could both bear some liability.
- Premises Liability: If a person is injured on a property, the property owner and the entity responsible for maintaining the property could potentially be held liable for the accident.
It is always a good idea to find as many liable parties as possible. This can increase the amount of insurance coverage available to victims and give them a better opportunity of being fairly compensated for their injuries.
