Fatal Car Accidents in Georgia
No one wants to hear that a close friend or family member died because of serious injuries from a car crash. The emotional and financial devastation that can be inflicted on a family can often be the result of the chaotic aftermath that follows a fatal car accident.
When a person is injured in a car accident caused by the negligence of another driver, that person has the legal right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent driver. They may be entitled to compensation for unpaid medical bills, lost wages, property damage, emotional distress, and physical pain and suffering.
If the victim dies as a result of the injuries sustained in the accident, the victim's surviving family members may file a wrongful death claim on behalf of their deceased loved one who was killed in the accident. In this way, the deceased's family attempts to obtain justice for the loss of their loved one.
Furthermore, a family member will have the opportunity to file a wrongful death lawsuit and receive compensation for the financial and emotional losses they have suffered as a result of their loved one's death.
The first step for family members who have lost a loved one in a fatal car accident is to seek legal counsel from a Wrongful Death Attorney.
It can be very challenging to handle wrongful death litigation or insurance company negotiations on your own. Without an attorney, the insurance company will try to offer you the lowest settlement amount possible or try to deny your claim altogether.
When you hire an experienced wrongful death lawyer, they will make sure you receive maximum compensation for the following:
- 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.
If someone you cared about passed away as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash, you have the legal right to pursue justice and compensation on their behalf.
