Who can bring a wrongful death claim in Georgia?

Georgia law establishes a clear priority order. The surviving spouse has the primary right to bring the claim. If there is no surviving spouse, the children may bring the claim. If there is no surviving spouse or children, the parents may file. If none of these family members exist, the estate administrator may bring the claim on behalf of the estate. Our attorneys will identify the proper claimant and ensure the lawsuit is filed correctly.
