Our lawyer can bring a claim against the person who is responsible for the accidental death of your loved one, and will prepare your case thoroughly to ensure maximum damages are recovered.
What is Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death has occurred when a person dies as a result of the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company, or entity. Examples include fatal auto accidents involving a drunk driver, trucking accidents, car vs. motorcycle accidents, and hit-and-run accidents.
Georgia wrongful death statutes can be quite complex, and the type of damages one may claim as the result of a wrongful death claim may vary from one set of circumstances to the next. Compensation may include:
- repayment for funeral and burial expenses
- recovery of the decedent’s future earnings/income to the family
- loss of companionship or loss of a child
