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.

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.

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!

I had wasted over 5 years with another firm without any significant results. I fired the previous firm and within 18 months The Cornwell Firm completed my case with higher than expected results for me and my family. The previous firm had wasted years of my time and caused me a great deal of stress. I highly recommend The Cornwell firm.
