How are wrongful death damages distributed among family members in Georgia?

When the surviving spouse brings the claim and there are also surviving children, the proceeds are distributed between the spouse and children as they agree — or, if they cannot agree, as determined by a Georgia court. Minor children’s shares are subject to court oversight. The estate’s separate claim for medical bills and pre-death pain and suffering is distributed through probate. Our attorneys guide families through every aspect of this process.
