What is Wrongful Death?

In Georgia, a wrongful death is defined as the death of an individual caused by the negligent, reckless, or intentional act of another party. In other words, it is a civil action that allows surviving family members to hold the responsible party accountable.

Wrongful death claims may arise from many types of incidents, including:

  • Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
  • Pedestrian or bicycle accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Nursing home abuse or neglect
  • Workplace or construction accidents
  • Defective products or dangerous consumer goods
  • Criminal acts such as assault or drunk driving

While a criminal case may also result from the same incident, a wrongful death lawsuit is separate and focuses on compensating the surviving family rather than punishing the wrongdoer.

Your Questions, Answered

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at today!

  • How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Georgia?

    In most cases, you have two years from the date of your loved one’s death. However, certain circumstances—such as ongoing criminal proceedings—may pause or extend this deadline.

  • How is compensation divided among family members?
    If a spouse files, they share compensation with the deceased’s children. However, Georgia law ensures that the spouse receives no less than one-third of the recovery, regardless of the number of children.
  • 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, and that breach caused your loved one’s death.

  • Can a wrongful death lawsuit be filed if criminal charges are also pending?

    Yes. A wrongful death claim is separate from criminal proceedings and may be filed regardless of whether criminal charges are filed or result in a conviction.

  • How much does it cost to hire a wrongful death lawyer?
    At Van Sant Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront, and we only collect a fee if we secure compensation for you.
