Aggressive Advocates, Empathetic Support

The unfortunate truth is that many accidents caused by negligence are preventable. After a fatal accident steals what matters most, people try to take advantage of you. Insurance companies will attempt to devalue your case; the guilty party may try to devalue your grief. When you’re processing a loss, you don’t have the emotional bandwidth to also process the extreme complexity of a wrongful death claim.

You need a tough advocate to fight for you. That’s us.

Wrongful Death Personal Injury Lawyers for Albany

What is a Wrongful Death Claim? 

A wrongful death claim is a civil action seeking monetary damages because the negligent, reckless or deliberate act of an individual, public entity or company has caused a fatality. Examples of the types of incidents and injuries that frequently constitute the basis for an Albany wrongful death claim include:

  • Construction site accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Crashes involving intoxicated drivers
  • Homicides and other intentional violent crimes
  • Failure to diagnose dangerous medical conditions
  • Drugged driving crashes
  • Abuse or neglect of nursing home residents leading to death
  • Collisions involving tractor-trailers
  • Accidents involving defective products
  • Drowning incidents
  • Distracted driving accidents
  • Other types of motor vehicle accidents
  • Dangerous drugs

This is not a comprehensive list of the types of accidents or intentional acts that might create the right to pursue legal action under Georgia wrongful death laws, so families should seek legal advice if a loved one has died because of the careless or wrongful acts of a third party.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

There are several possibilities of people or entities able to bring a wrongful death claim. The decedent’s estate or surviving family members could potentially bring a claim. A surviving spouse may bring a wrongful death claim, or the decedent’s children can bring such an action in the event there is no surviving spouse. If there is no surviving spouse or children, the parents of the decedent can bring a wrongful death action. In the event that a decedent does not have any of these surviving family members, and there is no estate set up prior to the decedent’s death, a personal representative may be appointed to represent the deceased on behalf of “next of kin.”

Legal Time Deadlines Vary

It’s important to remember that legal time deadlines can vary greatly based on the specifics of each case. That’s why contacting a Montlick attorney as soon as possible for a free consultation is always the best thing to do.

Start Here
Timing Is Key

The statute of limitations is the legal time deadline within which a party must initiate a lawsuit so they do not lose the right to pursue legal action. The correct termination of the applicable time deadline should be determined by a knowledgeable lawyer after examining the facts of your unique situation, so a prompt, free consultation with an experienced Montlick Albany wrongful death attorney is the best option. While the statute of limitations generally starts on the date of death, there are many additional factors that may impact the calculation of when the deadline expires, so it is important to seek legal advice. Given the harsh consequences of failing to comply with the statute of limitation, it is best to obtain legal advice about a potential wrongful death claim as promptly as possible.

Types of Financial Compensation

The Georgia wrongful death statute provides that damages include “the full value of the life of the decedent without deducting for any of the necessary or personal expenses of the decedent had he lived.” See O.C.G.A. §51-4-1. Damages may include some or all of the following:

  • Future lost income
  • Pain and suffering of surviving family members
  • Funeral/burial expenses
  • Loss of loved and protection of a spouse child or parent
  • Emotional anguish
  • Pain and suffering of decedent from the time of the accident until death
  • Loss of inheritance
  • Loss of value of decedent’s benefits
  • Punitive damages (in appropriate cases)
