Can I sue if my loved one died from a cancer that was misdiagnosed?

Yes. Georgia’s Wrongful Death Act (O.C.G.A. § 51-4-1 et seq.) allows the surviving spouse, children, or parents of a deceased patient to pursue a wrongful death claim. The estate may separately pursue a survival action for pain and suffering and other damages the deceased sustained before death. Both claims are typically filed together. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death.
