Wrongful Death

Wrongful death attorney near me.

If you recently lost a loved one in a car crash, pedestrian hit-and-run, or another type of deadly accident, a Georgia wrongful death lawyer can help you explore your legal options. 

A wrongful death claim can be filed against any individual or entity that caused a loved one’s death in a negligent, reckless, intentional, or criminal manner such as a drunk driver or a physician who provided substandard medical care.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim?

Under Georgia law, you have the right to seek monetary damages as a surviving family member from the at-fault party that could be a result of a personal injury case. These damages include but are not limited to lost earnings, loss of companionship, medical expenses, and funeral/burial costs. In order to be able to file a wrongful death claim, you must be one of the following:

  • Surviving spouse
  • Child (if no surviving spouse)
  • Surviving parent (if no children or surviving spouse)
  • Estate administrator (if no surviving spouse, children, or parent)

An experienced wrongful death lawyer in Georgia can help protect you and your family’s rights.
