I met with Harry Brown personally and he sat with me for 20 minutes at our initial consultation to explain everything. He even called after my surgery to see how I was doing. I met with him several more times after that and was kept informed about my case throughout. I highly recommend Harry Brown as an attorney.

Fatal Car Accidents in Georgia

Many people’s worst nightmare is learning that a close friend or relative has been killed or seriously injured in a car accident. A loved one’s death in an accident is likely to cause financial and emotional hardship.

A person who is injured in a car accident caused by another driver’s negligence has the legal right to file a personal injury claim and seek compensation. They are entitled to compensation for any direct expenses incurred as a result of the accident.

If an accident victim dies as a result of their injuries, the surviving family members may file a wrongful death lawsuit against the at-fault driver.

A wrongful death lawsuit may be filed by the family to seek financial compensation for funeral expenses and emotional distress caused by their loved one’s untimely death.

When a family member dies as a result of someone else’s negligence, the last thing on your mind is probably settling an insurance claim or filing a wrongful death lawsuit. However, because the statute of limitations severely limits your time to file a wrongful death claim, you should always act quickly.

A Wrongful Death Lawyer will make certain that you receive compensation for the following:

  • Funeral and Burial Expenses
  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages
  • Loss of Future Income
  • Loss of Consortium
  • Emotional Trauma

If a family member was killed in a car accident, you should contact a Wrongful Death Lawyer right away. Without the assistance of an experienced attorney, obtaining the compensation you are owed can be difficult.
