Our Atlanta personal injury attorneys at Ashby Thelen Lowry are crucial in assisting families through the complex legal process of pursuing compensation for their losses in Georgia wrongful death cases.
Our extensive knowledge of Georgia’s wrongful death statutes allows us to explain the legal framework and requirements for filing a claim while helping families determine who can file the claim so they can take the time to grieve fully.
We understand the devastating impact of wrongful death extends beyond the immediate loss, inflicting profound emotional and financial hardships on families as they grapple with the sudden absence of a loved one. This grief is compounded by the stress of funeral expenses, loss of income, and the emotional toll of their loved one’s untimely death.
Filing a wrongful death claim helps families navigate this difficult period by seeking justice and holding responsible parties accountable, providing a sense of closure. Additionally, the compensation secured through the claim alleviates financial burdens, allowing families to focus on healing and rebuilding their lives.
Here’s how we can help.
Our Atlanta Wrongful Death Attorneys Will Conduct an Investigation and Gather Evidence to Establish Liability
Our Atlanta wrongful death attorneys must conduct thorough investigations and gather comprehensive evidence to establish liability because this forms the backbone of a successful wrongful death claim.
Our attorneys work to establish that the defendant’s negligence or wrongful actions caused the death. This involves demonstrating a duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages and developing a strategic approach to present the case effectively through negotiation or litigation.
Without concrete evidence, it is challenging to prove that the defendant’s negligence or wrongful actions directly caused our client’s loved one’s death, which is essential for securing justice and compensation for the grieving family.
By meticulously collecting collision reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert testimonies, attorneys can build a compelling case that demonstrates the extent of the defendant’s liability. This diligent approach strengthens the family’s claim and helps ensure those responsible are held accountable, ultimately supporting the family’s pursuit of justice and financial recovery.
We will also:
- Quantify economic losses such as medical expenses, funeral costs, lost wages, and loss of future earnings.
- Assess non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and emotional distress, ensuring comprehensive compensation.
- Handle communications and negotiations with insurance companies to secure a fair settlement reflecting the claim’s value.
- Advocate on behalf of the family to prevent insurers from minimizing the payout or denying the claim.
- Provide emotional support, helping the family navigate their grief while managing legal responsibilities, allowing them to focus on healing without the stress of managing a complex legal case.
Our comprehensive approach to wrongful death claims ensures the family receives the compensation they deserve while offering much-needed emotional support and advocacy during a challenging time.
