Under Georgia law, only specific family members have the legal right to file a wrongful death lawsuit. The deceased person’s spouse has the first right to bring a claim, and if there are children, the spouse and children share the recovery equally. If there is no surviving spouse, the children may file the lawsuit collectively.
When there are no spouse or children, the parents of the deceased can pursue a wrongful death claim. If none of these family members exist, the estate administrator may file suit on behalf of the estate. Our Savannah wrongful death attorneys carefully review your family situation to determine who has legal standing and ensure the claim is filed by the proper party to maximize your family’s recovery.
As a family-owned practice, The Cornwell Firm understands the difficult times you’re going through. We’ll do everything we can to ensure you’re provided with a high level of compassionate legal support, personalized attention, and attentive service.
At The Cornwell Firm, we know that there’s nothing that can truly compensate for the loss of your loved one. That person’s care and affection is worth more than any amount of money. We also know that legal action may be the only way to help you gain the resources you need to move forward after your loved one’s wrongful death. To connect with our team, please complete our short request form today.
In Georgia, the surviving spouse has the first right to file. If there is no spouse, the deceased’s children or parents may bring the claim.
Families may pursue the full value of the deceased’s life, funeral and medical expenses, and loss of companionship. An attorney can help you understand what your specific case may be worth.

I was fortunate enough to have Ben Davidson at the Cornwell Law Firm on my side during a recent personal injury case, and I’m beyond grateful that I did. From start to finish, he was everything you’d want in a lawyer – sharp, responsive, and truly dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome. What stood out most was Ben’s personal approach. He and his team were incredibly attentive and professional, taking the time to explain each step of the process, always making me feel heard, and fighting hard to ensure I was treated fairly. They brought a sense of calm and confidence to an otherwise stressful situation, and Ben’s experience and expertise showed at every turn. Throughout it all, it was clear that he genuinely cared – my health and well-being were always the top priority, and he made sure I received the treatment I needed and was comfortable with. If you’re looking for a personal injury lawyer in Georgia, I can’t recommend Ben highly enough. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. You won’t find a more capable or compassionate advocate. Thanks again, Ben – you truly made a difference.

Never having gone through anything like this before, I had no idea about what to do or if anything could be done to hold someone accountable for what I considered their carelessness. My husband & I want to give a huge “shout out” of thanks to Mr. Brian, Brooke, Randall, April & the whole Cornwell Firm for all the phone calls & guidance through the last 2 years. You have no idea what it has meant to me. Y’all are great!
