No amount of money can replace a person. But when a life is taken by someone else’s negligence or recklessness, the law gives the family a way to hold the people responsible accountable — and insurance companies know it. They train adjusters to make claims like these go away quietly, for as little as possible.
David Price spent more than a decade representing companies in the insurance sector. He knows that playbook, and he prepares every wrongful death case on the assumption that it will go to trial.
How a wrongful death claim works
The family’s claim
Georgia law allows certain family members — generally the surviving spouse, or if there is none the children, or the parents — to bring a claim for the full value of the life of the person who died.
The estate’s claim
A separate claim, brought on behalf of the estate, can recover expenses such as medical and funeral bills, along with the pain and suffering the person endured before death.
Deadlines matter
Wrongful death claims are subject to strict time limits. Talking to an attorney early protects your family’s options and leaves time to preserve the evidence.
