Your family does not have to face the financial burden of a wrongful death alone

Losing a loved one due to negligence is devastating, and the financial aftermath can feel overwhelming. Medical bills, funeral costs, and the loss of income can add to the pain, but you don’t have to bear these challenges alone.

At Karell Trial Attorneys, we are committed to fighting for the compensation you deserve, ensuring your family’s financial stability after a sudden loss. Compensation in wrongful death claims considers the full value of the person’s life, beyond any estate’s claim for economic and non-economic damages. While no settlement can replace your loved one, it can provide the resources needed to move forward and protect your family’s future.

Karell Trial Attorneys is committed to securing every dollar you deserve in an Atlanta wrongful death claim

In Georgia, wrongful death damages are based on the “full value of the life of the decedent,” which includes both economic and non-economic aspects. Economic damages cover potential lifetime earnings and the value of services the deceased would have provided. Non-economic damages address the intangible loss of life’s pleasures and experiences.

Our experienced wrongful death attorneys work with financial experts to ensure every component of the full value of life is accurately presented, from future earning potential to the irreplaceable joy of personal relationships.

You must take action quickly on an Atlanta wrongful death claim

You have two years from death to seek damages in Georgia. Delaying can result in losing the right to file a claim. Additionally, O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2 restricts who may file a wrongful death claim, usually the spouse, child, parent, or a representative of the deceased’s estate. Our attorneys act quickly to file your claim and begin negotiations.

Karell Trial Attorneys will build a strong case for negligence in your Atlanta wrongful death claim

To secure damages in a wrongful death case, you and your attorney must prove that the at-fault party was negligent. This involves demonstrating three key factors:

• Duty of care: The defendant had a legal responsibility to act with care.
• Breach of duty: The defendant failed to meet that responsibility, placing your loved one in danger.
• Causation: The breach directly led to your loved one’s death.

Your attorney will gather medical records, expert opinions, and other evidence to support your claim. We will present your case to a jury if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
