A Paulding County Superior Court jury has reached a $5.67 million verdict against a drug-impaired driver who crossed the center line and killed a 15-year-old riding in another car.
The jury awarded Mark and René Williamson $5,407,284 for the full value of the life of their son, Zachary, plus an additional $263,409 for Zachary’s pain and suffering, medical and funeral expenses. The jury also awarded punitive damages, but held that amount to $250 after the defendant testified about how sorry he was.
