Wrongful Death

If you have experienced the death of a loved one as a result of a criminal act, medical malpractice, negligence on behalf of a property owner, an airplane crash, a vehicular accident, or any other accident/crime for which the victim was not at fault, you need expert legal advice to receive the compensation you are entitled to and ensure proper representation.  Each of the 50 states has its own series of wrongful death statutes that determine how wrongful death cases will be settled.  Under the Georgia wrongful death statute a loved one can recover economic as well as non-economic damages.  Click here to determine what damages may be recoverable under a wrongful death claim.

It is important to remember that wrongful death damages can only be collected if the victim has already been declared dead, the family the victim left behind is struggling to make ends meet as a result of the death and the death was caused by a third party’s malicious intent or negligence. But even if you are not able to collect damages from a wrongful death suit, you may still be able to make a personal injury case that will help you pay for funeral expenses, medical expenses, wage losses and any emotional trauma you have experienced as a result of the death.
