Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim

The state of Georgia has established the following protocol for determining who can file to collect benefits from a wrongful death claim. Our experienced attorneys can help you choose the best course of action. Call today for a free consultation.

• The surviving spouse can file to recover damages from the responsible parties. If there are minor children in the household they will be considered among the beneficiaries of any settlement.
• If there is no surviving spouse, the children of the deceased have the right to a wrongful death lawsuit. (A court-appointed guardian may represent minor children.)
• If there is no spouse or children, the rights to file pass to the parent(s) of the deceased.
• When there is no spouse, child, or parent, whoever is serving as administrator of the deceased's estate may choose to file a claim on behalf of any other next of kin.
