Factors that Affect Wrongful Death Compensation

Ultimately, it’s not possible to accurately assess in financial terms the emotional loss a family feels when a loved one dies. Georgia laws regarding wrongful death compensation were created to help families grapple with the economic loss they will encounter as a result of a relative’s death. It is considered an act of justice for the family to receive some type of remedy. When trying to determine the extent of the economic loss a family will have to deal with, our law firm analyses the following factors of the deceased at the time of the accident:

  • Age
  • Health
  • Life expectancy
  • Current Income
  • Anticipated lifetime income
  • Benefits (e.g. health, retirement)
  • Life Insurance
  • Inheritance
  • Number of dependent family members
  • Percentage of deceased’s financial contribution to the family’s overall income
