Georgia Wrongful Death Lawyers
Compassionate Georgia Wrongful Death Lawyers Who Fight for Your Family
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. No amount of money can bring them back—but pursuing a wrongful death claim in Georgia can help provide financial stability, closure, and accountability. At Carli K. Bryant Law, our Georgia wrongful death attorneys offer compassionate, determined legal support to grieving families across the state.
What Qualifies as Wrongful Death in Georgia?
Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2), a wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to
the negligent, reckless, intentional, or criminal acts of another. This can include:
• Fatal car and truck accidents
• Medical malpractice resulting in death
• Workplace negligence (non-workers’ comp claims)
• Nursing home abuse or neglect
• Defective products
• Dangerous property conditions
• Criminal acts like assault or DUI
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Georgia?
Georgia has strict rules about who can bring a wrongful death claim:
1. The surviving spouse has the first right to file.
2. If no spouse, the children of the deceased may file.
3. If no spouse or children, the surviving parents may file.
4. If no parents, the estate’s personal representative can file on behalf of next of kin.
The wrongful death claim may be paired with an “estate claim” seeking medical and funeral
expenses and the pain and suffering of the deceased before death.
Damages You May Recover in a Georgia Wrongful Death Case
The purpose of a wrongful death lawsuit is to recover “the full value of the life” of the
person who died. This may include:
• Lost wages and future earnings
• Loss of care, companionship, and guidance
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical bills related to the final injury or illness
• Conscious pain and suffering (estate claim)
• Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence or criminal behavior
