Seeking Justice For The Loss Of Your Loved One
Losing a loved one is never easy, especially if their death was preventable. If someone else’s negligence caused an accident that led to the death of a family member, then you may have a valid wrongful death claim. While no amount of compensation can bring your loved one back or erase the trauma you’ve suffered, it can help you get back on your feet financially.
At Newbern Law Firm, I assist clients throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area in filing wrongful death claims on behalf of their deceased loved ones. I am attorney Christopher B. Newbern, and I have over a decade of trial and personal injury experience that I use to build strong cases for my clients. As I have won multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements, you can trust me to fight tirelessly for you and your family.
Helping You Obtain Compensation In A Wrongful Death Claim
In Georgia, the deceased’s surviving family members – including their spouse, surviving children and parents – or a representative for their estate can bring a claim for wrongful death. To have a valid wrongful death claim, you must prove that someone else’s negligence caused the accident and resulting fatality.
A wrongful death case can arise out of any kind of accident, including those involving:
Cars
Medical malpractice
Industrial and manufacturing areas
Trucks
Slip-and-falls
In a wrongful death claim, you can recover damages for funeral costs, medical expenses, lost wages and future earning potential, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. At Newbern Law Firm, I will take the time to thoroughly examine your case and the evidence to help determine your best path forward.
Catastrophic Injuries Can Lead To Fatalities
In a serious accident, it is fairly common for victims to survive the impact and later pass away days or weeks later because of medical complications. Catastrophic injuries include injuries or illnesses that result in permanent disabilities or a lengthy incapacitation. The recovery period for a catastrophic injury is often lengthy and may include multiple surgeries, expensive medical treatments and long hospital stays.
Common catastrophic injuries that lead to fatalities include:
Amputation infections
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Spinal cord injuries
Internal organ damage
Watching a loved one suffer through a serious injury or illness, especially one that was caused by someone else’s negligence, can be traumatic. You and your family deserve justice and the means to begin healing. I will help you hold the responsible parties accountable so that you can move forward.
