Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one is painful enough if they died of natural causes. Learning that their death may be due to negligence can be devastating. When someone dies as a result of the misconduct or negligence of another person, company, or entity, it may be considered wrongful death.

At Robert S. Windholz, LLC, we understand that losing a member of your family can have a significant economic and emotional impact on those left behind. While nothing can replace a lost loved one, we work hard to help ease the financial strain by proving that the death was the result of negligence.

Wrongful death in Georgia

According to Georgia law, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed within two years of the date of the death. When the death was caused by medical malpractice, you must file suit within two years of the health care professional's negligence.

Damages are paid to the surviving spouse, children, or parents. The amount of compensation awarded in wrongful death cases is based on the following:

Lifetime lost earning capacity
Loss of companionship and family contributions

In medical malpractice suits including wrongful death, damages are presently controlled by the 2005 reforms legislated at the direction of Governor Purdue.
