Atlanta Wrongful Death Lawyer

Wrongful death cases may include deaths caused by the negligence of an individual or corporation. The death may have resulted from an auto accident, a workplace accident or several other types of accidents.

The loss of a beloved family member will affect you for the rest of your life. If you have lost a spouse, child or parent due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim against the negligent parties.

Georgia limits the people who may bring a claim of wrongful death. For example, if you were financially dependent on someone, you may be entitled to bring a claim of wrongful death if that person was killed due to someone else’s negligence even if you are not actually related to the deceased.

In a wrongful death claim, you may be entitled to receive damages for one or all of the following:

• Loss of companionship
• Loss of sexual relationships
• Actual financial losses, if the person killed was the provider of the household or you were dependent on them financially
• Mental pain and suffering
