Atlanta Wrongful Death Lawyers

The loss of a family member or loved one is a tragedy of immense proportion. When tragedy strikes through the carelessness or lack of safety precautions by a negligent party, family members should be compensated for the losses. Those losses, over time, can be staggering. In Georgia, the measure of damages for wrongful death is the full value of the life of the deceased, from the perspective of the decedent. These damages include both economic damages (lifetime income, with no deduction for living expenses or income taxes) and intangible factors such as the loss of the enjoyment of life to the decedent.

Understanding Wrongful Death

The full value of the life of the decedent is determined by the enlightened conscience of an impartial jury. The economic component of the value of the decedent's life may be reduced to "present value," but the intangible aspects of the value of the decedent's life are not reduced to "present value." Additionally, the estate of the decedent may recover for pre-death pain and suffering which may have been experienced by the decedent. Your Atlanta, Georgia Wrongful Death Attorney can help you understand your rights.
In Georgia, a surviving spouse has the right to sue for wrongful death, but must share the recovery equally with surviving children of the decedent.

In times of grief, it is sometimes difficult for family members to understand the importance of a prompt investigation of the circumstances of the death, preservation of evidence and identification of responsible parties.
