For a wrongful death attorney in Atlanta, Ugwonali Law Group handles these claims from 3400 Peachtree Road NE. A Georgia wrongful death claim lets certain family members or the estate seek recovery after a loved one dies because of someone else’s negligence. This guide explains the claim in plain language so you know what to expect.<\/p>\n

What a Georgia wrongful death claim is and who it is for<\/h2>\n

A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit. It is brought after a person dies because of another party’s negligent or wrongful conduct. A civil claim is separate from any criminal case.<\/p>\n

Georgia law allows a surviving spouse to bring the claim. If there is no surviving spouse, a child or children may bring it (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-4-2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This page is for a surviving spouse who may bring a Georgia wrongful death claim under O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-4-2<\/a> (Manfred Keais<\/a>, As Next of Kin and As Administrator of the Estate of Eric Keais v. Othel D. Kelley, Iii (2026)), for the decedent’s child or children if there is no surviving spouse, and for the administrator or executor of an estate in cases where no one under \u00a7\u00a7 51-4-2<\/a> or 51-4-4<\/a> may sue, as described in O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-4-5<\/a>. Many are facing a sudden death after a crash or a fall on unsafe property. Grief and paperwork often arrive together, so the steps below stay simple.<\/p>\n

Some families are not sure who qualifies. Raise that question early. The right person to bring the claim depends on the family’s situation and the records that exist.<\/p>\n\n
