Wrongful Death Compensation After a Norcross, GA Car Accident
When your family turns to our Norcross car accident attorney for support in the aftermath of a fatal accident, we carefully assess your potential damages. We know nothing can atone for your loss. We also believe you are entitled to fair and appropriate compensation for the following:
- Your loved one’s funeral and burial
- Your loved one’s medical bills
- Loss of your loved one’s income
- Loss of consortium and companionship
- Loss of guidance, society, and support
You could also be eligible to file a survivors’ action to recover the compensation your loved one would have been awarded in a personal injury case. When we accept your case, we itemize and fight for the compensation you are owed. In a survival action, a representative might be required to file a legal action on behalf of your loved one’s estate. We can explain all of these things in more detail during your consultation.
Leave it to us to ensure your case complies with all legal parameters and meets the filing and notification deadlines.
Georgia’s Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations
Because your loss occurred in a Norcross accident, it is governed by the state’s statutory filing deadline. In general, you have two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit, according to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Some exceptions may shorten this deadline. Our team can interpret the statute of limitations and any possible exceptions for your case.
If the filing deadline expires, you could be prohibited from filing your lawsuit at all. It will be dismissed without its merits ever being heard. It is never too early to involve our law firm in your case. With enough notice from you, we make sure your case is filed on time and your right to compensation does not run out.
