Georgia Government Liability Attorney

The government is responsible for maintaining public areas such as roadways to keep its residents safe. When a person is killed because of government negligence or misconduct, the government may be held liable for the wrongful death. You should speak to an experienced Georgia government liability attorney immediately if you have recently lost a loved one as a result of a negligent act by the government.

Government liability cases may involve the State of Georgia as well as county and city governments. State agencies, such as the Department of Transportation, may also be held liable if their negligence led to a wrongful death.

Georgia has extremely complex regulations regarding which agencies may be sued and the damages that may be recovered. Therefore, hiring a Georgia government liability attorney who has experience in this area is crucial.

Many government liability cases involve unsafe roadways which lead to fatal accidents. Inadequate lighting around construction zones, road resurfacing, and bad road design can make roadways hazardous for drivers, motorcyclists, and even pedestrians. If roads are not properly maintained, loose gravel, potholes, and dangerous paving can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicle. If an improperly designed or maintained road results in death, the government may be held liable.

If a government worker’s negligence in maintaining public property results in death, a wrongful death claim may be brought against the government. For example, if sidewalks are improperly maintained, thus causing someone to trip and later succumb to their injuries, the victim’s family may be entitled to recover damages from the government for their loss.
