Fatal Car Accidents in Georgia
Fatal car accidents can deeply impact families, bringing unimaginable sorrow and difficulties. Every year, tens of thousands of individuals lose their lives in the United States due to fatal crashes, affecting many families in our state annually. The aftermath of losing a family member in a fatal collision can be overwhelming on both emotional and financial fronts. Families often face the burden of funeral costs, medical bills, and the absence of companionship and services.
After experiencing the tragic loss of a loved one in a fatal crash, families have the option to pursue a wrongful death claim. To pursue a successful claim, it is crucial to establish negligence. This involves proving that the defendant had a duty of care towards your loved one, breached it, which led to the fatal collision, and caused damages for you as a result of the crash. While this may seem straightforward, the reality is that it can be quite challenging, especially when dealing with insurance companies that may try to blame your loved one to avoid compensating you.
