Losing a loved one in an accident results in immeasurable pain for those left behind. Unfortunately, in many cases, a nightmare scenario is made worse when it is discovered that the accident was avoidable. If the negligence of an individual or entity is liable for the death of your family member, you may seek compensation through a civil lawsuit.

Wrongful acts that are intentional, negligent or reckless can lead to fatalities. This may result in family members bringing a wrongful death claim against the liable party. However, wrongful death cases are often complex. Therefore, it is important to consult with an experienced Atlanta attorney if you believe your loved one’s death was avoidable.
