Having a loved one injured in an accident is stressful, but the untimely death of a loved one through someone’s negligence is uniquely traumatic on the survivors, and triggers a whole host of additional concerns, considerations, and consequences for those left behind.

No amount of money can take the place of a missing family member. But a loved one’s unexpected death can create financial challenges both short term and long term that can and should be eased by the survivors receiving fair and just compensation for the lost value of the cherished life that has passed too soon because of another’s carelessness or recklessness.

Regardless of whether a wrongful death results from a driver’s negligence, a property owner’s failure to keep the premises safe, an encounter with a defective and dangerous product, or some other hazard caused by another’s negligence, Georgia law provides for the surviving family’s recovery of damages under a unique set of statutory rules. Wrongful death cases are often factually and legally complex, and hard-fought by the parties at fault and their insurers. Ensuring the preservation of all potentially relevant evidence soon after the incident, and hiring the best experts to analyze that evidence, are crucial steps in protecting your ability to recover the full value for your loss. Yet those who have recently lost a loved one are understandably focused on other issues in the days and weeks following such a painful loss.

That’s why it is so it is important to get experienced, compassionate, and effective legal representation on your side as soon as possible after the passing of a loved one, so your attorneys can take these burdens off of you by taking prompt action to protect your rights, investigate the incident, and pursue the recovery your family is entitled to receive.
