Parents Awarded $35 Million After a Georgia City Is Found Liable for Their Son’s Death

Two parents in Milton were awarded $35 million after a jury found the city liable for their son’s 2016 death when he swerved off a road and struck a concrete planter that, they said, should never have been there.

It was believed that 21-year-old Joshua Chang, who was a senior at Yale University home for Thanksgiving at the time of the crash, was trying to avoid an animal.

According to State Court of Fulton County records obtained by 11Alive, he was going within the speed limit and there were no drugs, alcohol, or cell phone use involved in the crash. Other possible factors, like falling asleep or a tire/mechanical issue with the car, were also ruled out in the crash.
