What Is a Wrongful Death Case? 

A wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to another party’s carelessness, recklessness, or intentional actions.

 Common reasons include:

• Fatal car and truck accidents

• Workplace or construction site injuries

• Defective products or machinery

• Dangerous property conditions

• Medical errors or lack of care

• Criminal misconduct

We work with experts, gather evidence, and build a strong case on your behalf, while you focus on healing and honoring your loved one.


Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Georgia?

Georgia law allows the following individuals to bring a claim:

• A surviving spouse

• Children of the deceased

• Parents (if no spouse or children)

• A representative of the estate

If you're unsure whether you can file, we can help clarify your legal rights and guide you through the process.

What Can Be Recovered in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

Compensation in a wrongful death case may include:

• Loss of future earnings and benefits

• Loss of care, companionship, and guidance

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Medical bills related to the final injury or illness

• Pain and suffering experienced by the deceased before death
   

Every case is unique. We fight to ensure your family receives full and fair compensation for what was taken from you.

Time Is Limited. Don’t Wait to Act.

In Georgia, wrongful death claims must generally be filed within two years of the date of death. If deadlines are missed, your right to recover may be lost forever. Our team ensures nothing is overlooked and your case is filed on time.
