Wrongful Death
IN GEORGIA
When the Unthinkable Happens, You Deserve More Than a Formula.
When a Preventable Loss Changes Everything
There is no pain deeper than losing someone you love. At Serreen Law Group, we approach wrongful death cases with genuine compassion for your family and relentless aggression toward the party responsible for your loss.
Georgia law entitles surviving family members to recover the full value of the life of the person they lost. Insurance companies and corporations will try to minimize this using cold actuarial formulas designed to reduce your loved one to an economic calculation. They have done it before and they will try to do it again.
Serreen Meki understand that these cases require more than legal knowledge—they require compassion, careful attention to detail, and relentless advocacy. Every family deserves answers, justice, and experienced legal representation throughout the process.
Firm Expectations
Insurance companies often begin investigating immediately after a fatal accident. Their goal is frequently to reduce financial exposure rather than fully compensate surviving families.
- Compassionate communication throughout your case
- Thorough investigation from day one
- Experienced trial representation
- Honest legal guidance
- Direct access to your legal team
- Aggressive negotiation with insurers
- Personalized legal strategies
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
No family is ever prepared for the sudden loss of a loved one caused by another person’s negligence, recklessness, or wrongful actions. Beyond the overwhelming grief, surviving family members are often left facing unexpected medical bills, funeral expenses, lost household income, and an uncertain future. While no legal action can replace the person you’ve lost, pursuing a wrongful death claim can provide financial security, hold the responsible party accountable, and help prevent similar tragedies from happening to others.
A wrongful death claim arises when someone loses their life because another individual, business, medical provider, or organization acted negligently or intentionally. These claims allow surviving family members to seek compensation for the financial and emotional losses resulting from the death.
How We’ll Work Your Wrongful Death Case
Accident Reconstruction and Expert Review:
Accident Reconstruction and Expert Review: We work with medical and accident reconstruction experts to establish exactly what happened, who was responsible, and what the full impact of that loss means for your family’s future.
Evidence Preservation:
We act quickly to preserve surveillance footage, black box data, police reports, and witness statements before they are lost, destroyed, or conveniently unavailable.

We investigate whether the at-fault party has a pattern of negligence — prior incidents, safety violations, or warnings that were ignored — to establish liability and support punitive damages where appropriate.
The Corporate Defense Playbook:

Georgia law specifies who has the right to bring a wrongful death claim. Generally this includes a surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased. The rules around standing and timing matter and we walk you through your rights from the very first conversation at no cost to you. Eligible parties often include:
- A surviving spouse
- Children of the deceased
- Parents of a deceased child
- Certain dependent relatives
- The personal representative of the estate
Our legal team will explain who may bring a claim and guide your family through every legal requirement.
Funeral and burial expenses
By all means, surgeries, 24/7 nursing care, home modifications, and specialized medical equipment — with inflation built in so you don’t run out of funds years down the road.
Medical bills related to the final injury or illness
Georgia law permits non-economic damages. These damages include injuries from emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and ongoing mental anguish, sleep, and overall well-being long after physical wounds have begun to heal.
Whether it is spending time with family, enjoying hobbies, or pursuing personal interests, the inability to fully enjoy life can have a profound effect on a victim’s quality of life.The at-fault party pays for every dollar of that damage.
“We tell the human story of what was taken from you.”
Loss of Earning Capacity, & Related Property
All things considered, it isn’t just about lost wages today. If you can no longer work in your chosen profession or concurrently at all, we calculate the loss of your entire career trajectory, including promotions, benefits, and retirement contributions you would have earned.
“We take the burden of the future off your shoulders so you can focus on healing.”
