The loss of a loved one is always challenging, but it becomes even more heart-wrenching when it results from someone else's negligence or misconduct. At Chronister Law Firm, we recognize the profound emotional toll that wrongful death claims carry. We approach each case with the utmost sensitivity and compassion, acknowledging the deep pain and suffering endured by families. While we understand that no monetary sum can ever compensate for your loss, our commitment is to assist you in seeking closure and justice through the successful resolution of a wrongful death claim.

Common causes of wrongful deaths in Georgia include:

• Personal Injury: including those caused by drunk driving, distracted driving, or reckless driving.

• Medical malpractice: this includes all aspects of health care where professionals fail to follow the standard of care or make mistakes in treating their patient.

• Workplace accidents:  such as falls from heights, electrocutions, machinery accidents, and other injuries resulting in death.

• Faulty products (also known as products liability) that cause injury or death due to defects in design or manufacturing.

I urge you to contact us as soon as possible after the passing of your loved one.  We will discuss possible strategies to ensure those responsible for the death of your loved one is financially held accountable.  In Georgia, you have two (2) years to file a wrongful death case.  We normally do not handle case in which the death occurred more than 18 months prior.  This is due to the complexity involved in obtaining records, speaking with a medical expert, and drafting a strong demand for review by an insurance company or a complaint to file in court. 

Our team includes a legal nurse consultant, who also works full time as an ICU nurse, offering possible links between the injuries sustained by the deceased and the cause of death.
