Carla RobinsonMany of the car accident cases that we handle involve people who are seriously injured but will go on to live full lives. Unfortunately, some car accidents result in death. Fatal car accident cases are complex, and you need an experienced team of Atlanta automobile accident lawyers to fight for your rights.
When someone dies in a fatal car accident, it typically gives rise to what is referred to as a “wrongful death” lawsuit. In these cases, you, as the plaintiff, are seeking compensation related to the death of a loved one that was caused by the other driver’s negligence. Wrongful death claims have much in common with personal injury lawsuits but also have some important differences.
In some accidents, the victim dies at the scene, but it is also common for car accident victims to die sometime later after they have succumbed to their injuries. This is an important distinction because Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations that applies as follows:
If the victim is expected to die in the following months, waiting to file suit could jeopardize a potential personal injury claim. In either event, we recommend that you pursue a claim as soon as possible. Our Atlanta automobile accident lawyers can help you plan an effective strategy for getting the compensation you deserve.
In Georgia, surviving family members have two claims that can be filed with the court: a wrongful death claim and an estate claim.
Under Georgia law, you are entitled to seek compensation “full value” of the victim’s life as part of your wrongful death claim. As a result, you can seek compensation for the following:
Determining what your loved one would have made over the course of their lifetime, what their investment income would be is a complex economic calculation. In addition, you need to consider the value of their care – for example, what will it cost to get additional child care for your children. Finally, you are entitled to be compensated for your loss of companionship, but it can be difficult to determine what that value should be. Our experienced Atlanta automobile accident lawyers can provide you with an estimate of what your claim may be worth.
If the victim is a child, you may not be able to claim their future income or investment income. However, the loss of companionship for a parent could be significant, and therefore the value of this portion of your claim could be higher than if the victim were an adult loved one.
In an estate claim, a family is entitled to seek any burial and funeral expenses as part of your claim. If the victim did not die in the car accident immediately, then you can also seek compensation for any medical expenses incurred and the pain and suffering they may have experienced prior to death.
If you have lost a loved one in a fatal car accident, it’s important to understand that only certain people can pursue a wrongful death claim. Generally speaking, only those who are “next of kin” are entitled to seek compensation for the loss of their loved ones:
If the victim has had more than one spouse and a blended family, the situation can become more complicated. Our Atlanta automobile accident lawyers have experience handling wrongful death claims and can help you navigate these issues.
Tragically, fatal car accidents often involve the death of a child. These cases require special consideration, as Georgia law also limits who can pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of the child:
The case becomes even more complex if one or both parents died in the accident along with the child. Again, an experienced Atlanta automobile accident lawyer will know how to pursue the claim while avoiding the pitfalls.
Losing a loved one in a fatal car accident is an unspeakable tragedy for you and your family. Our Atlanta automobile accident lawyers know how important it is to get fair compensation – your future depends on it. We serve clients in all of Greater Atlanta, including Roswell, Canton, and Cumming. To discuss your case and how we can help,
