How Do I Know if I Have a Wrongful Death Case?
If your loved one died due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. A lawyer can review the facts and advise you.
How Long Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Georgia?
The statute of limitations is typically two years from the date of death, though some exceptions may apply. It’s critical to speak with an attorney immediately.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Wrongful Death Law Firm?
Most wrongful death law firms, including ours, work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win compensation for you.
What if the Responsible Party Is Also Facing Criminal Charges?
You can still file a civil wrongful death claim, even if a criminal case is pending. In fact, the civil claim may be paused (tolled) until the criminal case concludes.
Will My Case Go to Trial?
Many wrongful death cases settle out of court, but Finch McCranie LLP is always prepared to go to trial if it means getting you the justice you deserve.
We understand the uncertainty that comes with legal issues. Our attorneys are here to guide you every step of the way — from the first consultation to courtroom resolution (if that becomes necessary). We offer confidential, no-obligation case evaluations.
