Wrongful Death law in Georgia, in brief
Georgia's Wrongful Death Act measures damages as the full value of the life of the person who died, from their own point of view: lost wages and benefits plus the intangible value of the life they would have lived. A separate estate claim covers medical bills, funeral costs and the pain the person suffered before death.
The surviving spouse brings the claim, sharing with children; if there is no spouse, the children, then the parents, then the estate. The deadline is two years from the death, with some pauses when a criminal case is pending.
