Canton Wrongful Death Lawyers

Helping You Recover After Losing a Loved One

At Hasty Pope, LLP, we understand that the death of a loved one is an extremely trying and difficult time for you and your family. Individuals who have lost a family member as the result of someone else’s preventable and negligent actions deserve financial compensation for their loss. Although money cannot undo the tragedy, financial compensation is the only way civil law can recognize the value of the victim’s life, compensate for the death and subsequent losses, and penalize the party or parties at fault.

Compensation can help your family survive financially, especially if you depended on the deceased for financial needs. Our compassionate Canton wrongful death attorneys are committed to helping you. Hasty Pope, LLP can concentrate on the complicated legal matters that often arise in wrongful death cases so you and your family can continue the mourning process and move on with your lives.

    • The defendant was negligent by breaching that duty
    • Your loved one died as a result of this breach of duty
    • You suffered losses due to their death
    Proving the other party’s liability is difficult and you should not need to deal with alone. Get the help of experienced wrongful death attorneys near you to handle the details of your claim.

      A Powerful Statute on Your Side

      Georgia’s wrongful death statute is one of the best in the United States. In Georgia, the measure of damages for wrongful death includes those that are both tangible and intangible. The state also does not impose a statutory formula or arbitrary limit on the damages awarded in a wrongful death case.

      Our Canton wrongful death attorneys can use Georgia’s statute to your advantage and develop an effective legal strategy on your behalf. We take matters into our own hands so that you and your family can continue the mourning process with as little distraction as possible.
