Atlanta Georgia based Roth Firm recently published a new blog post on wrongful death and survival action cases to provide advice for those who find themselves in the unfortunate position of having to deal with both a bereavement as well as the necessity of seeking compensation for a situation which may have contributed to it. “Everyone in this dreadful situation is now fortunate that these laws are now in force. Prior to them going into effect, the estate and family had no way of pursuing a personal injury claim as the claim died with them. However, there may be filing restrictions. Therefore, it is important to consult an experienced attorney who understands the different types of damages which could be sought,” said James M. Roth, Managing Partner at the firm.

With the number of cases of wrongful death on the rise, more people are finding themselves in this unfortunate situation. A shocking 135,000 plus people pass away annually due to medical malpractice and motor vehicle fatalities alone. Others who have suffered in motor vehicle accidents as well as those involved in workplace accidents or violence have may also have suffered a wrongful death.

As experienced civil litigators, The Roth Firm concentrates on Personal Injury litigation, emphasizing representation of those who have been injured due to the negligence, carelessness, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of others. They assist victims whose cases involve brain and/or spinal cord injuries as well as wrongful death and survival actions issues. The Roth Firm, who serve the community through their offices in Downtown Atlanta, Marietta, Fayetteville, and Nashville, have years of experience helping clients navigate the complex world of medical care with their expert understanding of the law.

A wrongful death claim allows the family of the deceased to file a civil suit for damages, which can include the pain and suffering the family has had to endure. It allows the estate to be awarded the damages from a personal injury claim which the deceased party could have recovered if they had survived. It can also take into account the current and future earnings of those who have lost as well as outstanding medical bills associated with the victim’s injuries and, of course, the funeral expenses.

On the other hand, survival action is centered around the victim, and is dispersed through the estate rather than being distributed directly to surviving family members. It could recover damages relating to the pain and suffering of the victim, their medical bills—as well as lost earnings—in addition to the amount they could have recovered in a personal injury lawsuit if they had survived.

“We always recommend that anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer seek someone with experience of their issue as well as their client’s views,” said Roth. He continued, “If they offer a free consultation as we do, take them up on the offer to see if they are the kind of people who will look after your interests and have the ability to win the case.”
