Brawner v. Bussell
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the CourtStephens, J.
1. The right of a parent, as a father, who is entitled to the services of his minor child, to recover for the loss of such services, caused by the negligent homicide of the child, is a right at common law. It is not essential to this right-of the parent that the child should at the time of its death be actually rendering services to the parent. The parent’s right to the services where the child is capable of rendering them is sufficient as a basis for the parent’s right of action for the loss of the services. Civil Code (1910) § 4412; Amos v. Atlanta Railway Co., 104 Ga. 809 (31 S. E. 42).
