Georgia Wrongful Death Attorney
When someone is loses their life due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or entity, it said to be a wrongful death. It's up to the survivors of the victim to pursue wrongful death claims. The state of Georgia, like all other states has a "wrongful death stature", which governs how those survivors are compensated. These statures dictate the procedures from bringing actions in a wrongful death claim.
Some common causes of wrongful death include:
- Automobile, truck, motorcycle or other motor vehicle accident
- Medical malpractice that results in decedent's death
- Workplace exposure to hazardous conditions or substances
- Criminal behavior
A wrongful death claim depends on the victim's descendents proving severe emotional and financial hardship because of the loss of their loved one.
A successful wrongful death case requires the following elements:
- death of an individual
- death was caused by the negligence of another party
- surviving family members are suffering monetarily or emotionally due to that death
- a personal representative must be appointed to bring the suit on behalf of the decedent's estate.
Proving an emotional or financial hardship can prove difficult and requires an experience attorney who understands Georgia wrongful death law. Trey Phillips and associated lawyers have many years experience in handling wrongful death claims in Georgia.
