We Seek the Best Possible Award for Your Family
At Kaine Law, we determine your case’s value based on your loved one’s medical bills, lost income, age, and the cause of the wrongful death accident. We will seek a settlement that pays for all your family’s losses, including these types of wrongful death damages:
End-of-Life Healthcare Expenses
Ambulance transportation costs might only be the beginning of your loved one’s medical expenses. You may also seek financial compensation for:
- Hospice
- Life support
- Resuscitation
- Hospitalization
- Surgeries
- Medications
- Doctors’ examinations
- Imaging scans
Each part of your loved one’s medical care is compensable.
Lost Income and Financial Stability
Losing your loved one can threaten your financial stability. Reviewing their employment records, we can pursue damages for their lost wages, tips, employee benefits, and bonuses.
We can also seek recovery for your lost income if you had to take time off work due to your loved one’s passing.
Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering accounts for the hardships your loved one experienced before they passed. Its value depends on:
- The severity of their condition
- How long they survived before passing
- Their age
- The impact of their death on their family’s life
- The cost of your economic losses
- The cause of the accident
Georgia law doesn’t cap how much you can seek for pain and suffering.
Funeral Expenses and Burial Costs
Recovering wrongful death compensation for your loved one’s funeral costs and burial expenses may account for the following:
- The casket or urn
- Embalming
- The burial plot
- The service itself
- The headstone
When we speak with you, we may discover other losses not listed here that we should also pursue, such as loss of consortium for the spouse. It all starts with a call.

How Our Lawyers Will Manage Your Case
We’re ready to take the burden of a wrongful death claim or lawsuit off your shoulders. While you spend time with your family, we’ll handle everything. With us on your side, we will:
Investigate Your Loved One’s Passing
Our lawyers will secure the following to support your case:
- The accident or police report
- Your loved one’s medical treatment records
- Their injury-related invoices and receipts
- Photos of the accident scene
- Security camera footage
We’ll also interview witnesses, consult with subject area experts, and talk with law enforcement officials to learn what happened.
Prove How the Liable Party Was Negligent
Using the evidence we collect, we’ll establish:
- Duty of Care: The other party’s legal and professional obligation to cause no harm
- Breach of Duty: The at-fault party’s action or inaction that violated their duty
- Causation: The link between their actions, the accident, and your loved one’s passing
- Damages: The financial hardships, emotional distress, and physical pain
File Claims With All Liable Insurers
We will identify all liable parties to your loved one’s death and file claims with each party’s insurance company.
The insurance adjuster might not offer a fair settlement, pressuring you into accepting an unfair offer. We won’t let that happen. Your personal representative with Kaine Law will advocate for your best interests.
Negotiate a Fair Settlement From the Liable Party’s Insurer
Instead, we will seek a settlement that addresses your family’s losses. Thankfully, we resolve most injury cases through insurance settlements because we will:
- Examine the liability policy
- Determine all your damages
- Prove fault and liability
- Protect you against bad-faith insurance practices
- Handle all communications with the insurers
If the insurer refuses to settle, it’s not a problem; we’ll file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party.
Handle Your Civil Lawsuit From Start to Finish
Our lawyers understand the state’s wrongful death laws and will do everything to seek the maximum compensation possible. We will:
- File your lawsuit and the necessary paperwork
- Collect witness statements
- Take depositions
- Exchange information during the “discovery” phase
- Present your case’s legal strategy
- Prepare you to give a statement
- Contest any unfair courtroom proceedings or questions

We Will File Your Lawsuit Within the Deadline
Under the wrongful death statute of limitations, you generally have two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a lawsuit with either the Fulton or DeKalb County courthouses.
If you fail to file your lawsuit within the deadline, the courts will refuse to hear your case. Other implications include:
- The at-fault party would never be held financially accountable for their actions.
- The insurer would have little incentive to settle your case.
- You would have to pay for your losses on your own.
We can guide your family through these complex legal actions.
What Should You Do After Losing a Loved One in an Accident?
With our legal team on your side, you don’t have to worry about anything. However, there are a few things you can do to promote your case’s resolution:
Keep All Documents Related to Your Case
You should keep all letters, invoices, and receipts related to your loved one’s passing. We also recommend keeping all communications between you and the insurance company for your records.
Write Down Your Version of Events
Your testimony holds more weight than you think. By keeping a journal, you can keep an accurate record of your loved one’s passing, your interactions with the insurance company, and your mental anguish. We may use this journal to calculate the value of your non-economic damages.
Refrain From Sharing Your Case’s Information Online
It’s perfectly reasonable to talk about your loved one’s life. However, refrain from sharing anything online regarding your case. You should avoid:
- Messaging the at-fault party or the insurance company online
- Making accusations about the other party’s fault
- Accepting friend requests from strangers
- Following the at-fault party’s social media pages
Think Twice About Early Settlement Offers
The insurance company might offer compensation immediately after it processes your wrongful death claim. However, its value is probably less than you deserve.
Insurance companies want to settle claims as quickly as possible and protect their bottom lines by paying as little money as possible. They are not above bullying grieving families to deny claims altogether.
When you accept compensation, your case ends. You cannot ask for more money later, even if you incur additional financial losses. The attorneys with Kaine Law will review all settlement offers and advise you on any fair ones.
