WRONGFUL DEATH
The pain and heartache of losing a close family member or friend can feel unbearable, especially when their death was caused by the negligent actions of another. Although it is possible to recover from the financial aftermath of your loss, there is no level of compensation that can remedy the emotional pain caused by the sudden death of a loved one.
Duluth families who choose Zdrilich Injury Law to represent them during a challenging and emotional time (like after losing a loved one) can trust our lawyers to provide compassionate support and detail-oriented representation. We truly take the time to listen to you and your needs.
It can feel impossible to move forward after losing someone you love. Our team understands just how difficult it can be to make legal decisions in these circumstances, especially if you’ve never been through something like this before.
After the sudden death of a loved one, you may face some of the following damages:
At Zdrilich Injury Law, we pursue wrongful death cases to honor the memory of your loved one and help you and your family get back on your feet.
Filing a wrongful death claim is one way to recover some of the costly expenses and solve financial insolvency after losing household income, but it could never replace the love and support you once felt before the tragic accident.
According to O.C.G.A. § 51-4-1, you and your family are entitled to recover the “full value of the life of the decedent, as shown by the evidence."
At Zdrilich Injury Law, we understand that recovering from the financial impact and damages associated with your loss will never come close to filling the emotional and psychological void. The very best we can do is help you hold the party responsible for their negligence and make them pay for your heartbreaking loss.
Our team understands the emotional toll a wrongful death claim can take on one’s family. Assigning financial liability and following through with the necessary negotiations and litigations can be difficult to do on your own.
You can rely on our wrongful death attorneys to document the financial and emotional consequences your family is suffering. We will gather evidence and prove the elements of negligence, including:
While no one can fully understand just how much your loved one meant to you and the joy they brought to your life, there is a level of value determined in every wrongful death claim. It can be incredibly complex to evaluate the damages because insurance companies, your legal team and potentially the courts will need to assign a dollar value to how this loss impacts you and your family — both in the present and future.
It may feel impossible to put a price on the loss of a loved one but it is necessary in a wrongful death lawsuit so you and your family can receive monetary compensation and support. Our attorneys consider a variety of factors that may influence the valuation of your claim including the decedent's age, occupation, household situation (i.e., do they have dependents), the state of their health prior to the accident and more.
Things like the number of dependents, their age, the person’s income and their role in your life can greatly impact the compensatory value of these cases. Between wage replacement and healthcare benefits to parental guidance and loss of companionship, all considerations are factored into determining the compensation a family must have in order to maintain their quality of life.
On the other hand, if your loved one was single with no dependents, the claim valuation will likely be worth less since their death (though tragic) does not directly affect anyone else’s livelihood or financial situation.
If you decide to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the at-fault party, Zdrilich Injury Law is here to help you with the negotiation and litigation process, including the investigation, evidence collection and witness interviews.
We will work with you to strengthen your claim and do our best to get you the compensation you and your family so greatly deserve.
Our team can help you understand the process and timeline and assist you with key deadlines, so you can focus on mourning the loss of your loved one. Speak with a member of the Zdrilich Injury Law team by contacting our office online or by calling (770) 931-9604.
