Atlanta Wrongful Death Attorney
Losing a loved one is one of the most devastating experiences in life. The sudden or accidental death of a family member or loved one can leave an impact for over a lifetime.
If someone else’s negligence contributed to an accident that resulted in your family’s loss, whether it is the result of a car accident he or she did not cause, medical malpractice, or another negligent act, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim.
If you choose to pursue compensation after your loved one’s death, an Atlanta wrongful death attorney at Ugwonali Law Firm can help you through the process. Although there is no amount of money that can ever make up for your painful loss, a wrongful death claim may provide compensation and justice to families for their losses.
Under Georgia’s Wrongful Death Act, if a person is killed by the wrongful act or neglect of another person or entity, then the family of the person who died has the right to file a wrongful death claim.
It also means that if the death had not occurred, the deceased would have been eligible for damages through a personal injury lawsuit due to the nature of the injuries resulting from the wrongful act or neglect.
What is Wrongful Death?
Most incidents that result in a death due to someone else’s negligence could warrant a wrongful death claim. However, deceased people cannot file a lawsuit, and therefore a spouse, parent, or other close family member can file a wrongful death claim when an accident or event results in death. Several types of accidents are common causes of wrongful death.

Who Can File for a Wrongful Death in Georgia?
In Georgia, surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children of the deceased may seek compensation. The parents or siblings of the deceased may also be able to file a wrongful death suit. To file for wrongful death, there must be evidence that the negligence or intentional act in your claim was most likely the cause of the death.
Your Atlanta wrongful death lawyer will handle the process of obtaining medical documents and tracking down the evidence on your behalf.
