East Point, GA Wrongful Death Lawyer
Wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. Often, these cases just involve another individual—such is often the case in car accidents. However, wrongful death can include multiple people or even an entity, such as a business or manufacturer, in a product liability case.
The point of pursuing compensation for wrongful death doesn’t necessarily mean that a family is seeking revenge. Instead, wrongful death cases are often pursued to help the victim’s family overcome financial burdens. Wrongful death is often expensive, with a funeral alone usually costing thousands. Depending on the situation, the victim may also have had medical treatments, which the family may end up needing to pay for.
There’s also the fact that when a person dies, this can create a financial vacuum in the household. There have been many situations where a household loses its main breadwinner, and the surviving family members are forced to work harder and may even need to downsize. These financial burdens can quickly pile up, and this isn’t even accounting for emotional distress and other trauma caused by losing a loved one before their time.
In some wrongful death cases, there can be punitive damages applied. Punitive damages can be used to further punish the other party and even serve as a way to prevent similar actions from them or others in the future.
