  1. TOP 4 MAJOR CAUSES OF WRONGFUL DEATH IN ATLANTA

  2. MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS Car accidents, including those involving drunk drivers, distracted drivers, and reckless driving, remain a leading cause of wrongful death in Atlanta. Furthermore, the prevalence of large trucks and commercial vehicles increases the potential for severe injury and fatality in collisions. The aftermath of such accidents often leads to complex wrongful death lawsuits, involving claims against negligent drivers, vehicle manufacturers, and even employers.

  3. MEDICAL MALPRACTICE Errors in medical treatment, diagnosis, or care are a significant contributor to wrongful death cases. These errors can range from surgical mistakes and misdiagnosis of serious illnesses to medication errors and failures to provide adequate monitoring. Given Atlanta's concentration of healthcare facilities, the potential for medical malpractice is unfortunately high. Cases of wrongful death stemming from medical negligence often require detailed medical expert testimony to establish the causal link between the alleged malpractice and the death.

  4. PREMISES LIABILITY Property owners and businesses have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises for visitors and employees. Negligence in maintaining safe conditions can lead to accidents resulting in death. Slip-and-fall accidents, for instance, can have devastating consequences. Proving liability in premises liability cases often hinges on demonstrating the property owner’s knowledge of the hazardous condition and their failure to take reasonable steps to remedy it.

  5. DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS The use of faulty or defective products can lead to serious injuries and fatalities. This category includes a wide range of products, from malfunctioning machinery in industrial settings to defective consumer goods found in homes. A wrongful death case stemming from a defective product typically involves determining whether the manufacturer, distributor, or seller could have prevented the defect through better design, testing, or warnings.
