Litigation against Six Flags Over Georgia: the Crook wrongful death case

While not a ride-malfunction incident, a real and currently active lawsuit against Six Flags Over Georgia is worth knowing about if you're evaluating a claim against the park. Andrea Crook, a seasonal Fright Fest employee, died from head injuries after falling from a moving cargo van on the park's grounds on October 1, 2023. Her husband, Lokin Crook, filed a wrongful death and negligence suit against Six Flags entities and the van's driver.

Important distinction: this case involves a workplace vehicle incident, not a roller coaster or amusement ride malfunction, and the underlying claim (an employee's death, not a park guest's injury) differs from most theme park visitor injury claims. It is included here because it is a real, sourced, and currently active piece of Georgia litigation against Six Flags entities — not because it involves a ride.

Georgia's personal injury statute of limitations

Georgia gives most injury victims two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33.

Important exceptions: claims against a government entity carry separate, generally shorter, ante litem notice requirements that must be met before the underlying suit can proceed. Deadlines may also be extended in limited situations, such as when the injured person was a minor at the time of the injury (tolled until age 18) or was legally incompetent. Medical malpractice and product liability claims carry their own statute-of-repose rules separate from the general two-year window. Because these exceptions are fact-specific and missing a deadline can permanently bar a claim, anyone considering a claim should confirm their specific deadline with an attorney rather than relying on the general rule alone.
