Frequently Asked Questions About Wrongful Death Cases
What qualifies as a wrongful death case in Georgia?
A wrongful death case arises when a person’s death is caused by another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act. Common examples include fatal car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and nursing home abuse. The goal of a wrongful death lawsuit is to hold the responsible party accountable and recover damages for the deceased’s family.
Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Georgia?
Under Georgia law, the following individuals are eligible to file a wrongful death claim:
- The spouse of the deceased.
- If there is no spouse, the deceased’s children.
- If there are no spouse or children, the deceased’s parents.
- If none of the above are available, the estate of the deceased may file the claim.
What types of compensation are available in a wrongful death case?
Compensation typically falls into two categories:
- Economic damages: These include lost wages, medical bills, funeral expenses, and other financial losses tied to the death.
- Non-economic damages: These cover intangible losses like pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and emotional distress.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Georgia?
The statute of limitations for wrongful death cases in Georgia is two years from the date of the person’s death. However, certain factors, such as ongoing criminal investigations, could extend this deadline.
What evidence is needed to prove a wrongful death case?
Key evidence in a wrongful death case includes:
- Police or accident reports.
- Medical records and autopsy reports.
- Eyewitness statements.
- Photos or videos from the scene.
- Expert testimony (e.g., from accident reconstructionists or medical professionals).
How much is my wrongful death case worth?
The value of a wrongful death case depends on factors such as the deceased’s age, earning capacity, medical expenses, funeral costs, and the emotional impact on the surviving family. An experienced attorney can provide a more accurate valuation based on your specific case.
Can I sue a company or organization for wrongful death?
Yes, you can sue companies or organizations if their negligence or actions led to the wrongful death. For instance, a business can be held liable for unsafe premises, defective products, or negligence by an employee.
Do I need an attorney to file a wrongful death lawsuit?
While you’re not legally required to have an attorney, wrongful death cases can be complex and emotionally challenging. An experienced wrongful death lawyer can handle legal procedures, negotiate with insurance companies, and maximize your compensation while you focus on grieving and healing.
Will my wrongful death case go to trial?
Most wrongful death cases are resolved through settlements before reaching trial. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney may take the case to court to fight for your rights.
How much does it cost to hire a wrongful death lawyer?
At Atlanta Wrongful Death Lawyers, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you owe us nothing unless we win your case. You can also schedule a free consultation to discuss your case with no upfront costs.
