A wrongful death lawsuit always begins with a tragedy, which is the death of a loved one due to someone else’s misconduct.  When a wrongful death happens, the law entitles the family to receive compensation for the full value of the life of the person who died.  This compensation covers both economic damages and non-economic damages.
 
Wrongful death lawsuits can be complicated.  Georgia law determines which family members may file a claim for wrongful death, and it is important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible in order to preserve evidence and to maximize the likelihood that the person who caused the death will be able to compensate the family.  The length of time for resolving a case depends on many factors.  Some cases are resolved in a few months, while others take several years.
