How Long Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Claim in Georgia?
In Georgia, families of those who have lost a loved one have up to two years from the date of the death to file a wrongful death claim. While two years can feel like a long time, it's important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible.
There may be documents or evidence that can be helpful in proving that your loved one was lost because of the negligence of another. Working with an attorney has many benefits and can allow you the time you need following your loss while we focus on holding the responsible parties accountable.
Your Family Has a Legal Right to Compensation
A wrongful death claim can allow you to recover compensation for necessary and unexpected expenses you will now face. These include medical expenses, funeral costs, and future lost wages. Furthermore, financial compensation can be used to memorialize a family member’s life, pay for the educational needs of children, and support charities and churches.
The expenses you face now—without the help of your loved one—are not ones that you chose to face alone. In many cases, they aren’t ones for which you planned. The law recognizes this and is designed to provide assistance to surviving family members that need it most after a tragedy. And oftentimes, insurance money is available for just this type of situation.
We can help you obtain the compensation you are entitled to for your loss. We will put our nearly 40 years of experience to work to ensure that the person or business responsible for your family member’s accidental death is held accountable for what they have done. We will help you find a way forward.
No matter what the circumstances were that killed your family member, our wrongful death lawyers can help.
Can I Sue for Emotional Distress?
If you are a victim of wrongful death, you are likely suffering the loss of someone closest to you. The lasting impacts of trauma such as unexpected and undeserved death can cause lasting emotional distress on a person. It may be in your best interest to seek compensation for this distress by taking legal action against those responsible for the wrongful death of your loved one.
Emotional distress is a common result of wrongful death due to the trauma that it puts a person through. If you are suffering from anxiety, fear, loss of sleep, lack of focus at work, difficulty driving, or more, seek compensation for your emotional stress today.
Accidental Death Claims and Contingent Fees
At the Studstill Firm, LLP, consultations are always free and wrongful death cases are handled on a contingent fee basis. This means that there are no legal fees until your case is resolved through verdict or settlement.

Unexpectedly, I found myself in need of consulting with a law firm specializing in personal injury cases. While shopping in a certain beloved grocery store, which shall remain nameless, I had an accident. A banana of all things was my downfall. Being that I did not place the banana in question on the floor of the grocery store, it was my assumption I had a case for the injuries I sustained due to this slip & fall. Which was more like a slip & crash backwards because I surely took the banana display down with me. After leaving the hospital, I called 411 pain mostly because the radio keeps telling me to. This was all I could think to do, but they were not helpful & in fact, I felt very overwhelmed. So I turned to Google & searched for law firms. Studstill law firm caught my attention & I gave them a call. I was told to talk with Jennifer who could answer my questions. I must say, I really appreciate her patience & understanding because I do tend to ramble on a bit. She was professional & kind, never made me feel rushed. She did not even laugh when I told her what happened. I appreciate this because even the doctors & nurses at the hospital laughed at the cause of my injury. Thank you Jennifer & Studstill lawfirm for helping me through this process.- Joseph
