Can I sue the City of Atlanta or another Georgia municipality for wrongful death?
Yes. Georgia cities and municipalities have waived sovereign immunity in limited circumstances, including motor vehicle accidents involving city employees acting within the scope of their employment (O.C.G.A. § 36-33-1) and certain premises liability situations. However, you must serve a written ante litem notice on the municipality within six (6) months of the date of the death or incident. Missing this deadline will almost certainly bar your claim.
