There are many types of unexpected accidents that occur and many of them can result in serious injuries and even death. Some examples include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and slip and falls. In fact, any type of accident has the potential to result in death.

If someone is killed in an unexpected accident, the family of the deceased often has the legal right to file a wrongful death claim to seek compensation from the responsible party. Here are some of the most common questions the wrongful death lawyers of The Angell Law Firm receive:

  • What Are Georgia’s Wrongful Death Laws?
  • Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim in GA?
  • How Lawyers Can Prove Liability in A Wrongful Death Claim
  • What Types of Damages Can Attorneys Recover in Wrongful Death Cases?

Top Law Firms Explain Georgia’s Wrongful Death Laws

Georgia’s wrongful death statute O.C.GA 51-4-2 allows a decedent’s family members to file a lawsuit. The purpose of the lawsuit is to recoup money from the wrongful party for causing their loved one’s untimely death. The amount of money, or damages, may vary from family to family depending on the specific circumstances of the accident. The damages awarded in a wrongful death claim are meant to compensate the family for funeral expenses, burial expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim in GA?

After a loved one has passed away, many people may be in mourning. But, there are only certain people who are legally permitted to file a wrongful death claim. The surviving spouse is the first party that is allowed to file a claim. If there is no surviving spouse, then the victim’s surviving children may file the claim instead. Others who may file a claim include the following:

  • Parents,
  • then the victim’s siblings,
  • then the victim’s nieces and nephews,
  • then grandparents,
  • and then their lineal descendants.

To determine if you are eligible to file a wrongful death claim, it is important to have a knowledgeable wrongful death lawyer on your side. Contact The Angell Law Firm today to get started.

How Lawyers Can Prove Liability in A Wrongful Death Claim

Regardless of who files the lawsuit, recovering compensation in a wrongful death claim requires proving certain elements. To obtain money from the negligent party responsible for victim’s death, the plaintiff must prove that:

  • The defendant had a legal duty to protect the decedent from death. For example, drivers assume a legal duty to
  • drive safely to protect others from death every time they get behind the wheel.
  • The defendant breached that legal duty by causing the accident.
  • The decedent’s death occurred because the legal duty was breached.
  • The family members should be compensated by the defendant because their loved one suffered an untimely death.

What Types of Damages Can Attorneys Recover in Wrongful Death Cases?

Wrongful death claims can be complicated and confusing, which is why it is so important to have a personal injury attorney on your side. Let our skilled wrongful death attorneys provide you with advice and help you with the legal aspects of this difficult time in your life. As the survivor of a loved one, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Georgia for the recovery of the following three different types of damages:

  • Compensation for the loss of the loving relationship, companionship, and comfort. Spouses can also recover
  • compensation for the loss of consortium of the decedent.
  • Compensation for the loss of the services the decedent would have provided in the household in the future.
  • Compensation for the loss of the financial support that the deceased provided to the family members prior to his or her death.

I chose this law firm due to the great reviews that I read online, and it was the best decision i’ve ever made! From start to finish the staff at Angell handled my cases really well. They are very professional, they know what they’re doing, and they have no problem answering questions and taking time to walk you through the process. When dealing with big insurance companies, it’s great to have a team to help negotiate to get what you truly deserve. Special thanks to Annie and Deanna as I worked more closely with them but the entire staff is amazing! If you need a lawyer I definitely recommend them. Thanks so much!

I used the Angell Law Firm for a car accident that I had. From beginning to end they were very knowledgeable of the process and answer all my questions, the staff was very professional and extremely helpful with all the process. What I like the most is that no matter how many times I call, to follow up with my case they would always answer my call in a courteous way and if they can't they would immediately return my calls. I was very happy with the outcome of my case and how they make it easy for me to go through this process. I will recommend them to anyone in need of a good injury lawyer. Elida Castillo and Breanna Baggio were very kind and courteous and professional.

This comment is about Bryce Angell and Law Associate with his frim ,I tell you the truth and nothing but the truth after going through lies, not getting return phone calls delay after delay about my case. So after about seventeen months I decide enough is enough.I call the Angell Law Frim and talk to their legal team and they accepted my case. The next few hours a representative came out to talk to me and was straight forward expertise advice took my filed and the next month my case had settle for a lot more than what I was told that I could get from the previous Attorney. The Angell Law Firm is very transparent and will not keep you in the dark and will return your call back . The Angell Law Firm let you know they work for you and not the other way around. (very professional):) James
