Frequently Asked Questions
Georgia law generally gives the surviving spouse or children the right to bring the claim first, with other family members potentially eligible depending on the circumstances. An attorney can clarify who has standing in your specific situation.
A criminal case, if any is filed, is brought by the state and focused on punishment. A wrongful death claim is a separate civil case brought by the family seeking financial compensation, and can proceed regardless of the outcome of any criminal matter.
Georgia law sets a deadline for filing wrongful death claims, so it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as your family is able to.
Depending on the case, compensation can include the full value of the life lost, loss of income and support, loss of companionship, funeral expenses, and medical bills incurred before death.
Many wrongful death claims are resolved through settlement negotiations with insurance companies, but our attorneys prepare every case thoroughly in case litigation becomes necessary.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning your family pays nothing upfront and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
