We understand all aspects of personal injury law and how it applies to claims of Wrongful Death. We work closely with clients to help them understand the legal processes and regulations that affect their case outcome.

When filing a wrongful death claim there is a number of ways to approach it when it comes to the reason for the claim and what you see fit at a proper settlement. The first thing you must do is find an attorney that can show you your options. One to three years is the time frame in most cases when you can file the claim and don’t allow this time frame to lapse. If you believe someone close to you was a victim of wrongful death you need to take action and get compensation for their suffering and your own.

Auto Accidents & Wrongful Death

Auto accidents in Georgia resulted in 116,458 injuries in 2013. Add to that number the fatality total of 1,179, and you can see that there are many accidents that rob people of their normal lifestyles and even their lives. We represent clients and survivors of auto accidents, working diligently to help protect their rights and gain fair compensation for their losses.

People who lose loved ones in auto accidents face many challenges, as their entire futures are affected by a wrongful death:

• Loss of companionship and guardianship
• Loss of financial income/support
• Expenses for medical care and funeral and burial costs

Auto accidents, however, are not the only cause of wrongful death. While vehicle accidents are a leading cause, someone may also suffer fatal injuries in a slip and fall incident, too. In order to determine your rights, you need to speak with a knowledgeable lawyer as soon as possible.
