Fatal Car Accidents in Georgia
Dealing with the unexpected loss of a loved one is an incredibly challenging situation. Unfortunately, our state witnesses more than a thousand deaths each year due to fatal car crashes. Following the loss of a loved one, your family has the opportunity to initiate a wrongful death claim against the responsible party. This legal action aims to secure financial compensation for various damages you encounter. Some of the damages eligible for compensation include:
- Medical expenses: If your loved one incurred medical expenses before their passing, compensation can be pursued to alleviate the related costs from the accident until their demise.
- Lost wages: The loss of a loved one can lead to a significant financial setback for your family, particularly if the deceased was the family’s primary breadwinner. Compensation can be sought to mitigate the impact of lost wages.
- Funeral and burial costs: Ensuring your family has the necessary financial resources to cover funeral arrangements is crucial. A wrongful death claim can provide compensation for funeral and burial expenses, alleviating some of the associated stress.
