An elderly driver car accident claim seeks payment for injuries or death caused by an older driver who failed to use reasonable care. If a health problem or medication affected how that driver drove, it can become part of the case. T. Madden & Associates, P.C. has been in practice since 1999 and helps Georgia families who need an elderly driver car accident lawyer to explain their options. Our first consultation is free and confidential.<\/p>\n

What an Elderly Driver Car Accident Claim Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n

An elderly driver car accident claim asks whether an older driver failed to use reasonable care behind the wheel. Georgia defines ordinary negligence as the absence of the care that ordinarily prudent people use in similar circumstances (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-1-2<\/a>). Whether a person acted with ordinary diligence depends on the circumstances, measured against the care an ordinarily prudent person would take under the same or similar circumstances. The real question is what the driver did, or failed to do.<\/p>\n

This guide is for two groups. The first is adult children, spouses and other relatives of an older adult who was hurt or killed. The second is older adults hurt by another older driver. Many families also wonder whether a crash with an elderly driver is a different kind of claim. The firm also handles car, truck, motorcycle and e-bike crashes, and wrongful death claims.<\/p>\n\n
