Fatal Car Accidents in Georgia
Fatal car accidents are tragic events that can have far-reaching consequences not only for the people involved but also for their families and the communities in which they lived. A fatal accident can be devastating emotionally as well as financially.
Driving while intoxicated or high on drugs, driving while distracted, driving at excessively high speeds, and driving recklessly are all risky behaviors that can result in fatal car accidents. These collisions are typically avoidable if traffic laws are followed, adequate attention is paid to the road, and responsible driving is practiced.
When a person is killed in an accident caused by another driver's negligence, the surviving family has the legal right to sue the negligent driver for wrongful death. The deceased's family will be able to seek monetary compensation for the loss of their loved one.
Although no amount of money can ever make up for the loss of a loved one, the system is in place to help the family recover financially from the tragic accident and to hold the negligent party accountable for their actions.
If someone you care about dies as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident, the first thing you should do is talk to an experienced Wrongful Death Lawyer about what happened. This will help you determine whether you have a legal right to file a compensation claim.
It can be extremely difficult to handle a wrongful death claim or negotiate with an insurance company on your own. If you do not have a lawyer on your side, the insurance company will either try to settle the case for the smallest amount possible or simply refuse to pay anything.
You will be compensated for the following when you hire an attorney to represent you:
- Funeral and burial expenses.
- Any outstanding medical bills.
- The loss of your loved one’s future income.
- Pain and suffering.
- Loss of earning capacity.
- Loss of consortium.
- Loss of caregiving capacity.
- Grief and emotional trauma.
