The Definition of Wrongful Death

Under Georgia law, a wrongful death is the death of any person as a result of another person or entity’s recklessness, negligence, or intentional or criminal act. Only certain people can bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased, including his or her spouse, parents, children, or personal representative of his or her estate.

What Damages Can You Collect in Wrongful Death Cases?

You can file two main types of wrongful death claims in Georgia: one to collect compensation related to the full value of the deceased’s life, and one to collect compensation for the expenses associated with the deceased’s death.

For a lawsuit related to the full value of the deceased’s life, you can collect compensation related to both the economic and non-economic damages associated with the death of the deceased. Examples of damages you can collect in this type of wrongful death claim include the following.

• Loss of care
• Loss of companionship
• Loss of future wages and benefits
• Any other intangible benefits the deceased could have provided to his or her loved ones

The estate of the deceased person usually files the second type of claim. The purpose of this type of lawsuit is to help recover the losses that the estate incurs as a result of the death. You may collect the following types of damages in this type of wrongful death claim.

• Final medical expenses
• Funeral and burial costs
• Conscious pain and suffering the deceased experienced before death
