What is Considered Wrongful Death?

Under Florida law, wrongful death occurs when a person’s life is taken due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another individual, business, or entity. Essentially, if the deceased could have filed a personal injury claim had they survived, their family may have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Examples of incidents that may give rise to wrongful death claims in Gainesville include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents caused by drunk, distracted, or reckless drivers
  • Medical malpractice, such as surgical errors or misdiagnosis
  • Workplace accidents caused by unsafe conditions or employer negligence
  • Defective products that lead to fatal injuries
  • Nursing home abuse or neglect resulting in loss of life
  • Criminal acts, including assault or other intentional harm

Every wrongful death case is unique, and determining whether your circumstances qualify requires a careful legal review. Our attorneys are committed to evaluating your case and explaining your family’s legal rights.

Your Questions, Answered

  • How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in Georgia?
    The statute of limitations in Georgia is typically two years from the date of death. However, certain factors, such as criminal investigations or estate matters, may extend or shorten this period. It’s important to act quickly to protect your rights.
  • Do I need to prove negligence in a wrongful death case?

    Yes. To succeed, you must show that the at-fault party owed a duty of care, breached that duty through negligence or wrongdoing, and caused the death as a result. Your attorney will help gather and present the necessary evidence.

  • Can a wrongful death claim be filed if there is also a criminal case?
    Absolutely. Wrongful death lawsuits are separate from criminal proceedings. Even if a criminal case is pending or if the at-fault party is not convicted, families can still pursue a civil claim for compensation.
  • How much is a wrongful death case worth?
    The value depends on many factors, including the deceased’s age, income, life expectancy, and the emotional impact on surviving family members. A Gainesville wrongful death lawyer can provide a more accurate estimate after reviewing the details of your case.
  • What if the deceased was partly at fault?
    Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning families can still recover compensation as long as the deceased was less than 50% at fault. However, the damages may be reduced proportionally.
