What Is a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit that allows the surviving family members of a deceased victim to seek financial compensation from the party responsible for the death. Unlike criminal cases, where the government prosecutes the offender, a wrongful death lawsuit is filed by family members or the deceased’s estate to recover damages.
Wrongful death claims often arise from:
- Car accidents and truck crashes
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Defective products
- Nursing home abuse
- Premises liability (unsafe property conditions)
- Criminal acts like homicide
If you lost a loved one due to any of these causes, 770GoodLaw can help you build a strong case and fight for justice.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Georgia?
Under Georgia law, the following individuals may file a wrongful death lawsuit:
- The surviving spouse – If the deceased was married, the spouse has the first right to file. If there are minor children, the spouse must share the compensation.
- The children of the deceased – If there is no surviving spouse, the children can file a claim.
- The parents of the deceased – If the victim was unmarried and had no children, the parents can file a lawsuit.
- The estate representative – If no family members exist, the estate’s personal representative can file a claim, and damages are distributed to the deceased’s heirs.
770GoodLaw ensures that eligible family members receive the compensation they deserve while providing legal guidance every step of the way.
What Compensation Is Available in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
Families can seek economic and non-economic damages in a wrongful death claim, including:
Economic Damages
- Medical expenses related to the deceased’s injuries
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of income and future earnings
- Loss of financial support
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering of the deceased before death
- Loss of companionship and emotional distress
- Loss of guidance for children
In cases involving gross negligence or reckless behavior, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party.
How Long Do You Have to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Georgia?
The Statute of Limitations for wrongful death claims in Georgia is two years from the date of death. If a lawsuit is not filed within this period, families may lose their right to recover compensation.
Certain circumstances may extend or pause this deadline, such as:
- If a criminal investigation is ongoing, the statute may be paused.
- If the estate is not settled, the deadline may be extended.
