Fatal Car Accidents in Georgia
Nobody wants to hear that a close friend or member of their family has passed away as a result of serious injuries sustained in a car accident. The emotional and financial devastation that a fatal car accident can inflict on a family is frequently the result of the chaotic aftermath.
When a person is hurt in a car accident that was caused by the negligence of another driver, that person has the legal right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the careless driver. This allows the injured person to seek compensation for their injuries. They might be eligible for financial compensation for their unpaid medical bills, lost wages, damaged property, emotional distress, and physical pain and suffering.
If the victim loses their life because of the injuries they received in the accident, their surviving family members have the right to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf. In this way, the family of the deceased person is able to obtain justice for the loss of their loved one.
In addition, a member of the family will be given the opportunity to file a wrongful death lawsuit and seek compensation for the monetary and emotional losses they have sustained as a direct result of the passing of their loved one.
The members of a family who have suffered the loss of a loved one as the result of a fatal car accident should consult with a Wrongful Death Attorney as their first order of business.
Dealing with wrongful death litigation or insurance company negotiations on your own can be a very difficult and time-consuming endeavor. If you don’t have a lawyer representing you, the insurance company will try to settle the case for the smallest amount possible, or they may even try to deny your claim entirely.
If you retain the services of an accomplished wrongful death attorney, they will work to ensure that you receive the highest possible 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 accident, you have the legal right to seek justice and compensation on their behalf.
