Understanding Georgia Wrongful Death Laws
Georgia's wrongful death laws are complex and specific. Our attorneys help families understand their rights and navigate the legal process during this difficult time.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim
Under Georgia law, the right to file a wrongful death claim belongs first to the surviving spouse, then to children, parents, or the estate representative. Our attorneys help determine the proper party to bring the claim.
Two Types of Claims
Georgia law allows for two separate claims: the wrongful death claim (for the "full value of the life of the deceased") and an estate claim (for medical expenses, funeral costs, and pain and suffering). We pursue both claims to maximize recovery.
Statute of Limitations
In Georgia, wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death. However, this deadline may be extended or shortened in certain circumstances. Contact our attorneys promptly to preserve your rights.
