The sudden loss of a loved one is an indescribably painful experience, particularly when it occurs due to the negligent or intentional actions of another. In Georgia, the law provides a pathway for the families of the deceased to seek justice and compensation through wrongful death claims. At Steven N. Newton, LLC, with our office in Peachtree City, Georgia, we understand the profound impact of these losses and are dedicated to guiding families through these complex legal processes with compassion, respect, and unwavering support.
Understanding Wrongful Death in Georgia
In Georgia, a wrongful death is defined as a death caused by the negligent, reckless, intentional, or criminal acts of another person or entity. These claims are intended to compensate the family members or the estate for the full value of the life of the deceased, covering aspects from lost wages and benefits to the more intangible elements like loss of companionship and emotional suffering.
Wrongful death claims can arise from various circumstances, including but not limited to vehicle accidents, premises liability, or workplace accidents. Navigating these claims requires a deep understanding of the nuanced laws that govern wrongful death in Georgia, something that our founding attorney, Steven Newton, with over seven years of substantive litigation experience, brings to the table.
The Role of Experience in Wrongful Death Claims
Steven Newton’s extensive experience in trial and litigation offers a significant advantage to our clients. Having spent years in the courtroom, Steven has developed a keen insight into the strategies that resonate with Georgia juries and judges alike. This experience is invaluable when seeking justice for the loss of a loved one, as wrongful death cases can often be complex and require a sophisticated legal approach to effectively communicate the full extent of the loss to a jury.
