Fatal Auto 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 communities. A fatal accident can be emotionally and financially devastating.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving while distracted, driving at excessively high speeds, and driving recklessly are all risky behaviors that can lead to fatal car accidents. These collisions are usually avoidable if traffic laws are followed, sufficient attention is paid to the road, and responsible driving is practiced.
When a person dies in an accident caused by the negligence of another driver, the surviving family has the legal right to sue the negligent driver for wrongful death. The family of the deceased will be able to seek monetary compensation for the loss of their loved one.
Although no amount of money can ever compensate for the loss of a loved one, the system exists to assist the family in recovering 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 discuss what happened with an experienced Wrongful Death Lawyer. This will assist you in determining whether you are legally entitled to file a compensation claim.
Managing a wrongful death claim or negotiating with an insurance company on your own can be extremely difficult. Without 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.
When you hire an attorney to represent you, you will be compensated 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 you have lost a loved one in a car accident, you should contact a Wrongful Death Lawyer as soon as possible. When pursuing a compensation claim, these lawyers have the knowledge and resources to help you understand your legal options.
