Wrongful Death

A 28-year-old newlywed was killed when a drunk driver crossed the center line on a two-lane highway in rural South Carolina and struck her vehicle head-on. The at-fault driver had a blood alcohol content of 0.19, more than twice the legal limit, and had been served alcohol at a local bar despite being visibly intoxicated. We pursued claims against both the drunk driver and the bar under South Carolina's dram shop laws, recovering $4.5 million for the victim's husband and parents.

Wrongful Death Lawyer FAQs

Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit?

It depends on the state. In NC and SC, the personal representative of the estate files the claim. In GA, the surviving spouse has priority. Our attorneys guide families through the process.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim?

In NC and GA, the statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of death. In SC, it is 3 years. Prompt legal action is essential to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

What compensation is available in a wrongful death case?

Families may recover lost income and financial support, funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering. Punitive damages may be available in cases involving egregious conduct.

Can I file a wrongful death claim if there is a criminal case?

Yes. The civil wrongful death claim is separate from any criminal proceedings. A criminal conviction is not required for a civil case, and the burden of proof is lower in civil court.
