What is wrongful death?

A wrongful death is the unnecessary death of an individual which results from the negligence of a person or organization, either directly or indirectly. A wrongful death claim is filed by a lawyer on behalf of the spouse, children, parents, or other beneficiaries of the deceased party against the person or organization responsible for the death.

Wrongful death lawsuits often result from motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, and medical malpractice frequently results in wrongful death cases as well. In cases where a person’s death was caused by a defective or unsafe product, product liability law may place the manufacturer or designer of the product at fault, and under premises liability law the owner of the property where a wrongful death occurred may be held responsible if the death was caused by unsafe conditions.

Because the law is so complex, it's crucial to choose a wrongful death lawyer with the skill and experience to guide you through the legal process. If you have suffered the unfortunate loss of a loved one, our Athens, Georgia wrongful death attorneys can assist you and your family obtain just compensation.

Wrongful Death Causes

Wrongful death claims are intended to provide monetary damages to a deceased person’s beneficiaries and dependents when the victim’s death was caused by another party’s negligent, careless, or reckless actions. Wrongful death lawsuits may arise from a variety of circumstances, including:

According to Georgia state law, spouses, children, and other dependents or beneficiaries may have the legal right to seek compensation by filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Compensation may cover out-of-pocket costs such as medical and funeral expenses, loss of income, as well as emotional pain and suffering.

All wrongful death laws have a statute of limitations that limits the period in which survivors can exercise their rights. The statute of limitations begins when the person dies: a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed within the time period specified in order to be considered a valid claim. To protect your legal rights and interests, contact the wrongful death attorneys at our Athens, Georgia-area office.

Damages in Wrongful Death Cases

In wrongful death cases, two types of damages are awarded to family members of the deceased. Compensatory damages are intended to reimburse the victim’s family for financial losses and expenses incurred as a result of the death, including medical expenses, loss of wages, and funeral costs. Punitive damages are intended to punish the person or organization responsible for the death and deter the liable party from engaging in similar negligent actions in the future. In both cases, settlements can often assist family members so they can achieve a sense of closure and move forward with their lives.
