Fatal Accidents in Georgia
Fatal collisions are a tragically frequent occurrence in the United States, claiming the lives of approximately 100 individuals daily, 770 weekly, 3,300 monthly, and over 40,000 yearly. Coping with the devastating aftermath of a fatal collision can feel overwhelmingly challenging. Families impacted by these incidents often face unexpected financial burdens that can be difficult to manage, further compounding their grief.
In the wake of a fatal collision, families are urged to consider filing wrongful death claims against those accountable to alleviate some of the financial strains associated with the loss of a loved one. These financial burdens can include medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income that the deceased would have provided. It is crucial to initiate a wrongful death claim within the designated statute of limitations to safeguard your family’s rights and pursue justice. Failure to act within this timeframe can result in the forfeiture of your legal right to seek compensation and hold the responsible parties accountable.
