What Is the Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death in Georgia?

When wrongful death leaves families emotionally shattered and financially burdened, we help fight for justice.

    Having a loved one pass away as a result of a preventable accident can be extremely overwhelming and frustrating. This is known as a wrongful death case, and depending on the specifics of this case, you may be able to bring a lawsuit regarding wrongful death. 

    You need to find a lawyer who is familiar with the Georgia wrongful death statute and one who can advise you through every aspect of the case. Losing a loved one in and of itself is not grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. Instead, you must be able to show that another party is accountable for the injuries or illnesses that contributed to their death. 

    When your loved one has paid the ultimate price due to another party’s negligence, you’re not alone. You deserve to have the support provided by an attorney who cares about your family’s future and some of the challenges ahead for you. 

    By waiting too long, you’re not just running the risk of having your entire claim denied. You’re also delaying justice for you and your loved ones. Sadly, there is no way to turn back the clock and undo this horrible accident. However, you can help your family move forward into the future and close this chapter more easily. Coping with the grief and the overwhelm of knowing that someone else’s actions led to this is devastating. But when you take action, the law might be on your side to give you the opportunity to get financial support through a wrongful death claim.

    Having Mr. Smith is my attorney was probably the best choice I ever made. He answered all of my questions kept me up-to-date. After our first meeting with him, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be. He’s honest, very compassionate, listens to all of my concerns. And he fought hard for me and what I deserve, and I am very pleased with the outcome, so thank you Mr. Smith!! I highly recommend him!!
