Losing a loved one is devastating—especially when their death could have been prevented. Whether it happened in a car crash on I-16, a construction accident near Garden City, or due to medical negligence at a Savannah-area hospital, your family may be entitled to justice and financial compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we help families across Savannah, Pooler, Port Wentworth, and Chatham County pursue wrongful death claims. We handle the legal side so you can focus on grieving, healing, and honoring your loved one’s memory.
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed when someone dies due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing.
We handle cases involving:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Drunk or distracted driving
- Workplace or construction site incidents
- Medical malpractice
- Dangerous property or defective products
- Pedestrian and bicycle fatalities
We investigate what happened, identify who’s responsible, and pursue compensation for your family.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Georgia?
Under Georgia law, the following people can file a wrongful death claim:
- The spouse of the deceased
- The children of the deceased
- The parents, if there is no spouse or child
- The estate of the deceased, if no family survives
We guide you through the probate and claims process with clarity and compassion.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
While no amount of money can bring back your loved one, compensation can ease financial burdens and hold the responsible party accountable.
Your family may be entitled to:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills related to the fatal injury
- Loss of the deceased’s income and benefits
- Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
- Pain and suffering (in some cases)
- Punitive damages if the conduct was especially reckless
We calculate the full extent of your losses and fight for the financial security your family needs.

These cases are often emotionally charged and legally complex. You’ll need a team who can:
- Investigate the cause of death
- Preserve and present critical evidence
- Navigate probate and estate issues
- Deal with insurers and defense attorneys
- Prepare for trial if a settlement isn’t offered
At Ted Law Firm, we carry the legal burden so your family doesn’t have to.
