How to Find an Experienced Atlanta Wrongful Death Attorney

Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Atlanta

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for filing an accidental or wrongful death lawsuit is two years. If one of your family members has died as the result of a workplace, automobile, construction or other accident, and you believe that another party is negligent in the accident, it’s important to hire an accidental death lawyer who has been successful in settling or taking to trial cases similar to yours. Although you may be going through an emotional time facing the loss of someone close to you, you should move quickly to select a wrongful death attorney to assist you in pursuing your case.

If you’re looking for an attorney who can work on your behalf to recover damages resulting from a wrongful death case like yours, here are a few things to consider from The Cochran Firm Atlanta:

• How many wrongful death cases has the attorney managed in the last year?
• What type of caseload does this attorney carry at any one time?
• Will this attorney actually work on my case or assign most of the work to an associate?
• What settlement amounts has this attorney received on behalf of clients in the last year or two?
• How long has this attorney practiced in Atlanta?
• What types of accidents has been part of the cases this attorney has tried? Does the attorney handle cases similar to mine?
• How will this attorney be paid? How does the rate compare to others in Atlanta?
• Can I find journal or newspaper articles about this attorney’s cases?

Your search for a lawyer with experience in wrongful death cases similar to yours will probably take some time, but the decision you make is important—take the time you need to select the appropriate Atlanta wrongful death attorney to handle your case now and you’ll be successful in realizing the settlement your family members will need in recovering from their loss.
