Wrongful Death

Have you lost someone you love due to someone else's negligence?  If so, you need a lawyer to help you pursue a wrongful death claim.

What is a wrongful death claim?

  • A wrongful death claim or case may be pursued by filing a lawsuit when someone has been killed as the direct result of another person's negligence. 
  • The surviving dependents or nearest kin may be entitled to money damages as a result of the negligent party's conduct.
  • The money damages could include:
    • compensation for the full value of the life of the decedent
    • pain and suffering to the decedent before his or her death
    • medical expenses incurred before the decedent's death
    • funeral and burial expenses
    • compensation for the loss of pension, retirement, or medical coverage benefits
    • compensation for lost wages or income
    • loss of companionship to the decedent's relatives and survivors
    • in some instances, punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter him or her from repeating the negligent conduct that led to the decedent's death

    Richard Stark and his highly trained, experienced staff have assisted many families who have lost a loved one due to the negligence of a wrongdoer, whether it is an individual or a large corporation.  We understand that the loss can be a very emotional experience for the survivors, and it can be monetarily devastating to the family if the decedent was the bread winner for the home.  We are ready to conduct a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the facts and circumstances of the event, IMMEDIATELY.

   It is very important to commence a thorough investigation and analysis of the case as quickly as possible because the necessary proofs and evidence may be destroyed or degraded with the passage of time; witnesses could leave or move from Georgia; the opportunity to take necessary photographs or to collect physical evidence changes quickly.  Therefore, TIME BECOMES A CRITICAL FACTOR in commencing the investigation.  So, call us as quickly as you possibly can after the unfortunate event.
