Georgia Wrongful Death Attorney Fees

Losing a loved one can lead to overwhelming feelings of loss and grief. During this time, you do not need the added stress of worrying about legal fees. The wrongful death attorneys at Head, Thomas, Webb and Willis operate on a contingency fee basis and do not receive compensation unless your wrongful death claim is successful.

After a wrongful death caused by the negligence or misconduct of another party, the victim’s family is entitled to recover damages. For example, a spouse may receive compensation for loss of companionship, loss of potential earnings, and mental anguish. Actual damages, such as medical expenses and funeral costs may also be awarded. In order for you to receive compensation, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed.

In some cases, the responsible party may have insurance for the vehicle or property that can be used to offer compensation for your tragic loss. An experienced wrongful death attorney can deal with the insurance company for you to negotiate a fair settlement. If an agreement cannot be made on the amount of compensation, the attorney will take your case to court in order to recover damages.

Having an experienced wrongful death attorney on your side increases your chances of receiving compensation. If an attorney works on a contingency fee basis, it means that he or she is motivated to win your verdict or settlement in order to receive compensation. A wrongful death attorney will receive a set percentage of the damages, as well as any legal costs spent working on your case.

Working on a contingency fee also allows the victim’s families to fight for compensation for their loss, which wouldn’t be possible if the family did not have the money to hire an attorney. The negligent person or party is held responsible for their actions, and the family is able to fight for justice.

Because so many wrongful death attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, hiring an attorney with the experience necessary to win your case makes the most sense. The attorneys at Head, Thomas, Webb and Willis have 150 collective years of experience in winning wrongful death claims for their clients.
