Our experience:
Wrongful death cases can be complex, as the claim is intended to recover the loss of future earnings, pain and suffering, and other factors relating to the unjust loss of life. Wrongful death cases in Georgia are very different from other personal injury cases. In most personal injury cases, the victim of a wrongful or negligent act brings a claim against the negligent party. In wrongful death cases, however, the victim has passed away and it is up to his or her family or estate to bring a claim for wrongful death.
Raising an estate, appointing a personal representative, protecting the rights of minors, and employing the right experts are complex matters that should be addressed as soon as possible. We are experienced in handling wrongful death cases and can help you and your family through this difficult time.
Insurance companies take wrongful death cases seriously.
It is essential to act swiftly after you have suffered a loss. Insurance companies take wrongful death cases seriously and will begin their investigation immediately. The insurance company represents the negligent party who caused wrongful death and will not necessarily preserve the evidence for you. Proper investigation can involve scientific and engineering challenges, incident reconstruction, medical analysis, and, above-all, thorough basic investigation. It is important that you obtain competent counsel as soon as possible to protect your rights and permit a prompt investigation.
