Losing a loved one is heart-wrenching. When a person passes away due to an accident or someone’s intentional act, surviving family members can often file a wrongful death claim to pursue compensation for their losses. In addition, the deceased’s estate can also pursue compensation for losses like final medical expenses, burial costs, and pain and suffering.
If an accident or intentional act kills your loved one, speak to an attorney immediately. At TopDog Law, we provide access to a network of wrongful death attorneys throughout Georgia who offer compassionate counsel and representation to families with wrongful death claims. The attorneys in our network are committed to obtaining the largest possible settlement or award in each wrongful death case they take. Reach out to an experienced Georgia wrongful death lawyer today to discuss your case and seek the justice your loved one deserves.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Wrongful death cases arise when the wrongful or negligent actions of another party cause a person’s death. In such cases, surviving family members may seek compensation for their losses. Common scenarios that can lead to wrongful death cases include:
Medical negligence or malpractice can occur when healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care expected in their profession. Errors during surgery, misdiagnoses, medication mistakes, and other forms of medical negligence can lead to fatal consequences.
Tragic accidents on the road are one of the leading causes of wrongful death cases. Negligent driving behaviors such as speeding, drunk driving, distracted driving, and reckless driving can result in fatal collisions. In these cases, you can hold the responsible party accountable for their actions.
Wrongful death cases can arise from fatal workplace accidents. Industries involving hazardous conditions, heavy machinery, and high-risk activities have an increased likelihood of accidents leading to loss of life. Employers must maintain a safe working environment, and negligence in this regard can result in tragic consequences.
Defective products can also lead to wrongful death cases. If a faulty product causes a person’s death, the family can hold the manufacturer, distributor, or seller of the product liable for the resulting damages. This can include defective vehicles, faulty medical devices, or dangerous consumer goods.
In some cases, wrongful death can result from intentional acts. This involves situations where an individual’s deliberate actions led to someone’s death. Examples include cases of assault, homicide, and other violent acts. Surviving family members can pursue both criminal charges and civil lawsuits against the responsible party.
Georgia’s wrongful death statute establishes who can recover compensation in a wrongful death case. Just because you were close to the deceased does not mean you automatically can seek compensation for your loss.
The following close family members can file a lawsuit:
If none of the above exist, the personal representative of the estate can file the claim. The proceeds go to the estate and then get distributed to the heirs or beneficiaries of the estate.
If you are one of the above parties who lost a loved one in Georgia, discuss initiating a case with a Georgia wrongful death attorney in TopDog Law’s legal network today.
You may want to know what a wrongful death attorney can do for you after losing a loved one, especially if it is clear that the other party was at fault. As a surviving family member, always understand that the insurance company does not want to pay you what your claim is actually worth. Their representatives know how to get family members to settle for less and often engage in high-pressure tactics to get you to settle.
The only way to even the playing field is to retain an experienced lawyer to represent you and your family’s interests.
Some of the most important ways in which a lawyer can benefit a wrongful death case include:
Perhaps most importantly, your attorney can give you peace of mind that someone will seek justice for your loved one and family.
If you lost a loved one in an accident or as a result of someone’s violent act, you may file a wrongful death claim under Georgia law. At TopDog Law, we know the loss of a family member can leave survivors devastated. We can connect you with a local personal injury lawyer in Georgia who will offer compassionate yet aggressive representation for you and your family.
