Why Hire Our Wrongful Death Lawyer in Fayetteville?
The loss of a loved one is always devastating, and the grief you experience may be intensified if someone else’s behavior is what caused your loss. A wrongful death claim doesn’t take away the pain your loss causes, but it may provide room to grieve the way you need to or lessen additional stress due to finances. Our Fayetteville personal injury attorney is familiar with the sensitive nature of these cases and endeavors to treat your case with the respect and compassion it deserves. When you speak with a Kam, Ebersbach & Lewis Newnan personal injury attorney, we can explain the available legal options after your loss.
How Can Our Fayetteville Wrongful Death Attorney Help?
Some people may consider a wrongful death lawsuit as petty or ‘sue’ happy, but in reality, someone else’s negligent behavior has dramatically affected you and your family. This is demonstrated in the physical loss of the person and all of the expenses resulting from it. Additionally, a wrongful death lawsuit is only viable in circumstances where a personal injury claim could be made should the victim have survived.

Causes of Wrongful Death
A wrongful death can happen any time we lose someone unnecessarily due to someone else’s negligence. Countless situations result in death and may allow for a wrongful death argument. Some of these can include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Slip-and Fall
- Product Liability
- Workplace accidents
- Assault
Damages in Wrongful Death
Personal injury claims are centered around damages awarded to the victim for injury and losses. The idea of receiving money for the loss of your loved one can be a difficult experience. Still, the compensation may provide a financial buffer for you and your family so you can figure out the next chapter of your life without additional financial pressures. Some of these may include:
- Medical and funeral expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of companionship
Wrongful Death Eligibility
If you are interested in pursuing a wrongful death suit for a lost loved one, you should consult with an attorney to determine your eligibility. Georgia statute 51-4-2 allows a surviving spouse to file the claim. If no surviving spouse exists, the right to file a lawsuit will be passed on to the decedent’s children. If there are no surviving children, it may pass to parents. At Kam, Esbersbach and Lewis, P.C., we understand that no amount of money will take away the grief of losing someone you love, but we hope that it can ease some of the external struggles you may face as a result of the loss.
