Our Legal Team Stands Committed to Supporting Your Family
If your family lost a loved one because of someone else’s negligent actions, you could be eligible for wrongful death compensation. Kaine Law will investigate your loved one’s demise and collect evidence that proves the four elements of the at-fault party’s negligence:
- Duty of care: The at-fault party owed your loved one a duty not to cause them harm.
- Breach of duty: The at-fault party’s actions violated their responsibility to safeguard your loved one.
- Causation: The at-fault party’s actions caused your loved one’s fatal accident.
- Damages: Your loved one’s death has caused financial and emotional harm to your family.
We will review official reports relating to your loved one’s death. In addition, we’ll conduct our own investigation to determine what caused the accident, identify any contributing factors, and build a case for compensation.

Family Members Who Qualify for Wrongful Death Compensation in Georgia
The loss of a family member will affect everyone who loved them. However, Georgia law limits who can file a wrongful death action. Eligible parties can include the decedent’s:
- Spouse
- Parents
- Children
Depending on the decedent’s marital and familial status, the administrator or executor of their estate or other family members might also qualify for wrongful death compensation. Our wrongful death attorneys will clarify who could take legal action on behalf of your family.
Recoverable Wrongful Death Damages
The negligent party in your case is responsible for covering the costs of making final funeral and burial arrangements for your loved one. In addition to these costs, you can also recover:
- The loss of your loved one’s income
- The loss of your loved one’s household contributions
- The loss of their consortium and companionship
- The loss of parental guidance and support
Recovering these damages and navigating the financial compensation process can be challenging on your own. However, we never stop fighting for the compensation your family deserves. When our law firm handles your case, we make sure you get legal service and support you can rely on.
The Timing of Your Wrongful Death Action
Your right to recover financial compensation for your family has a time limit, according to O.C.G.A § 9-3-33. In general, you have up to two years from the day your loved one died to file your lawsuit.
You must meet the statutory filing deadline. However, doing so can become complicated because several factors could change the applicable date. If the allotted time expires:
- You will be prohibited from filing your lawsuit at all
- The court will dismiss your lawsuit
- You will have no legal avenue to compel recovery
So, leave the timing of your wrongful death lawsuit to our law firm. Our legal team will comply with the statute of limitations, so your case is not in jeopardy of dismissal.
