The suddenness of an unexpected death makes a difficult situation even harder. When that death is due to the fault of another, the grief can be overwhelming. During the days that follow, when you are focused on the grieving process, it is important to have a wrongful death attorney begin the process of filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Wrongful death can be attributed to many different causes, from car accidents to defective products or even food borne illness. The Cooper Firm has a strong record of securing wrongful death settlements for the full value of the life of the decedent, as well as damages incurred by the tragedy.

Car accidents, as well as motorcycle accidents, are common and thankfully are usually minor. However, high impact auto collisions often result in serious, debilitating personal injury, or even wrongful death. The complications from a car wreck include physical, emotional and financial struggles. Georgia law provides personal injury victims from car accidents the right to recover damages due to the negligence and recklessness of the responsible party. These damages can include past and future medical expenses and medical treatment, loss of income, compensation for pain and suffering and sometimes punitive damages.

Accidents involving tractor trailers or semi trucks are frightening and often lead to very serious personal injury and sometimes wrongful death. Due to their size and weight, these trucks must be handled by well-trained professionals with superior driving skills. Unfortunately even then truck accidents can occur. These truck accidents can be due to negligent behavior by the driver or unrealistic requests from the trucking company to complete a route in the shortest possible time.

With few exceptions, we take our safety in public or private places for granted. When an accident in a public area or on private property leads to personal injury or wrongful death, however, you need an experienced liability lawyer to investigate and determine your rights to compensation.
19
Most of the products we use everyday are safely designed, properly constructed, adequately tested and pose no significant risk of danger and harm. Thousands of defective products, however, make it to the market place and cause personal injury and sometimes wrongful death. Because product defect cases can be more complex than they first appear, it is important that a potential product liability claim against the manufacture or sale of a dangerous product be pursued immediately.

Automobile accidents occur every few seconds in the United States. Recently more attention has been given to the largely preventable cause of many of these accidents - automobile defects. Car defects often lead to more serious accidents, due to the unexpected occurrence of the accident, which in turn cause significant personal injury and possibly wrongful death.

Insurance is a necessity in our society. No one wants to be without coverage in the event of a car accident, personal injury or unforeseen event. And when it is time to file an insurance claim, we want to be confident that we will be treated fairly. Unfortunately, there may be times when an insurance company fails to abide by its duty of "good faith and fair dealing", or has unreasonably delayed an insurance settlement, putting your livelihood at risk. In these instances, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit against the insurance company. You could be entitled to any damages that you suffered as a result of the insurance company's action or inaction, which may include punitive damages.
22
Small businesses cannot afford to take a financial loss due to the fraudulent or reckless actions of others. In an economy where every dollar counts and the profit margins are slim, it is important for business executives to know their rights in small business law. Whether because of breach of contract, fraud, disputes among partners or shareholders, or attempts by large corporations to eliminate competition, commercial litigation can become necessary.
23
Sickness from food borne pathogens such as Hepatitis A, E. coli, salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes are growing. Exposure to these organisms, through food or in contaminated water, can cause serious and disabling personal injury and even wrongful death. Food manufacturers, restaurants, and public gathering places all too often engage in unsanitary practices that put consumers at risk.

We live in a technology driven world and, especially for our children, learning to apply good judgment while online takes practice. It is a parent's ultimate responsibility to monitor their children’s online, cell phone and texting activities to protect them from becoming victims of sexual predators or internet stalking.
15
When faced with sudden illness, long term illness and medical care, we entrust and seek sound advice and treatment from physicians and other medical professionals. We rely on their education and training and believe that they will deliver consistent care in accordance to the standards of practice established by the government and various professional organizations. When a medical professional and/or medical facility fails to meet these expected standards, the medical malpractice can result in personal injury or wrongful death.
