Wrongful Death Litigation — The Value of a Life Lost
In Georgia, damages in a wrongful death lawsuit are based on the value of the life of the family member who died: (a) compensation for the lost earning capacity and (b) the loss of companionship and family contributions. In medical malpractice cases only, damages are capped at $350,000 under Georgia law. Proceeds of a settlement or jury award go to the surviving spouse, to children, or to parents. Brooks Law Firm retains economists and other experts to determine the actual damages and general damages, while our attorney assembles the case to prove the negligence that led to the death.
You Must Act Quickly to Preserve Your Right to Seek Justice
Mr. Brooks has successfully sued pharmaceutical manufacturers, trucking companies, and large employers in wrongful death cases. The sooner you contact him the better. In most cases, a lawsuit must be filed within two years of the date of death (for medical malpractice, two years from the date of the doctor's negligence). If you do not file a law suit within the applicable statute of limitations, your claim will be barred. Additionally, as time passes, important evidence and witness testimony can be lost.
