Atlanta Wrongful Death Lawyer

Compassionate Legal Counsel for Surviving Family Members

At Douglas F. Kaleita, P.C., we understand that losing a loved one in an accident can be an extremely traumatic and devastating experience. Nobody wants to lose someone they love, but when that person is taken away as a result of an accident caused by another party's negligence, neglect, carelessness or wrongful conduct, the pain can be significantly worse.

For nearly three decades, our firm has been representing the families of loved ones who were fatally injured in accidents due to no fault of their own. In a large percentage of our cases we will work tirelessly to settle out of court, for the benefit of our clients and in order to help them avoid the costs and stresses associated with going to trial. In instances where settlement is not in the best interest of our clients, we will prepare for litigation, although we feel that resolving a claim out of court can often be the best solution. Either way, we rehave covered millions.

Need a lawyer for a wrongful death case in Sandy Springs?

While nothing can bring back a loved one who has been fatally injured in a wrongful death accident, the families of wrongful death victims need to know they do have the right to legal recourse. In fact, laws in the state of Georgia allow a wrongful death victim's family the right to file a civil lawsuit.

Should the family wish, they have the legal right to seek damages on behalf of both their loved one and his or her close family. They also have the right to seek compensation for pain and suffering if the victim's death was not instantaneous. A confidential consultation with a wrongful death attorney at our firm will answer any questions you have and advise you on how best to proceed.
