In order to file a wrongful death lawsuit, you must meet certain criteria. The most important of these criteria is that the deceased must have been killed as a result of another party's negligent and reckless actions. Some of the more prevalent causes of wrongful death include:
Negligence must be established in order to file a wrongful death claim; a natural death that was unpreventable is not considered a wrongful death. If a party's negligence or reckless actions caused a fatality, the party or parties can be held accountable for their actions.
Also of importance in filing a wrongful death claim is the presence of dependents or family members who are suffering financially or emotionally as a result of their loved one's death. Even in instances where the family is not suffering financially, it may still be possible to file a wrongful death claim for unquantifiable damages if you are related to the deceased. If you are not a family member or dependent (and in some cases, a beneficiary), you may not be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. At the Canton and Atlanta, Georgia-area law firm of Hasty Pope LLP, our understanding wrongful death attorneys can help determine if you have a case.
In the event of a wrongful death in the family, it may be possible to obtain financial compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. If you have suffered a death in the family as a result of another party's negligent actions, you may be able to file a lawsuit to obtain compensation for medical costs, funerary costs, a loss of wages (including future wages), as well as unquantifiable damages such as loss of companionship and emotional anguish. In some instances, it may also be possible to file for punitive damages to help ensure that the tragedy of your loved one's wrongful death doesn't occur to someone else.
