What’s Your Case Worth? (877) 541-1203
Preventable accidental injuries are a leading cause of death across the U.S. This means too many families learn they lost a loved one due to the misconduct of others each day. Such an expected loss can be devastating, both emotionally and financially.
Wrongful death laws provide grieving families with legal recourse for the untimely death of their loved one. While no amount of compensation can make your family whole again, it can provide the justice and support you need moving forward.

In Georgia, a wrongful death claim arises when another party’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions cause an individual’s death. Wrongful death claims compensate the surviving family members or beneficiaries of the deceased for losing their loved one.
Below is a brief overview of when you might have a wrongful death claim in Georgia:
To have a valid wrongful death claim in Georgia, you must establish that the death resulted from someone else’s negligence, wrongful act, or intentional wrongdoing. This can include any of the above accidents due to negligence or even criminal actions. Criminal cases are separate from wrongful death cases, so always consult our team even if the liable party faces criminal charges.
Not everyone who loses someone they love can file a wrongful death case. Under Georgia law, only certain family members may seek compensation. These typically include the deceased’s surviving spouse, children, and parents. If none of these parties are alive or available, a personal representative of the deceased’s estate may bring the claim.
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is generally two years from the individual’s death. Failing to file within this timeframe may result in losing your right to seek compensation. You usually must file an insurance claim before you file a lawsuit, so always give your attorney plenty of time to prepare and pursue your claim.
Damages you might seek in a wrongful death claim can include both economic and non-economic losses.
These may cover:
Even though you know your family deserves justice, proving wrongful death claims can be challenging. Negligent parties and insurance companies might deny liability, perhaps even blaming your family member for their own death.
