Wrongful death in Georgia is complicated due to the many issues involved in each case. Some of these are factual, such as how the event occurred that resulted in death. Others are legal, such as whether the defendant actually owed a “duty” to the victim, and whether that duty was breached.

One of the most complex and vigorously disputed legal issues involves the monetary value of the case. Although no amount of money will fill the void left when a loved one is taken from our clients, the law outlines different losses for which a family may recover. They include:

Wages
Benefits such as Healthcare and Retirement
Loss of Consortium or Personal Relations
Punitive Damages
