Wrongful Death

If you’ve lost a loved one due to an accident or illness that could have been prevented, seeking the guidance of a wrongful death lawyer is essential to protect your rights. At our firm, we have assisted numerous families in recovering damages after the tragic loss of a loved one due to negligence. While nothing can replace the void left by your loved one, having an attorney manage the financial and legal aspects of your case can provide significant assistance during this challenging time.

Under Georgia law, wrongful death claims aim to recover “the full value of the life of the decedent without deducting for any necessary or personal expenses.” Our experienced attorneys understand the intricacies of wrongful death damages, encompassing economic components such as lifetime income, the value of enjoyment of living, and loss of companionship.

Additionally, you may seek damages for funeral bills and the pain and suffering experienced by the decedent before their passing. Non-economic damages cover intangible losses like mental anguish, pain and suffering, as well as the loss of care, protection, guidance, advice, and nurturing from the decedent.

Wrongful death suits are typically filed by a representative, often the executor of the decedent’s estate. These claims hold a defendant accountable for causing someone’s death, whether through negligence or intentional actions. Beyond typical personal injury damages, wrongful death damages may include funeral expenses, lost future wages, loss of inheritance, and loss of consortium. Our dedicated attorneys stand ready to support you through this difficult process, seeking justice and fair compensation for your loss.
