Count on Gary Martin Hays when it matters most

Losing a loved one can be hard under any circumstances. But when a family member dies due to someone else's actions, the mix of emotions can be overwhelming - anger, frustration, confusion, and grief.

If you're dealing with the death of a loved one in Atlanta due to the reckless or negligent behavior of someone else, you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. But you'll only know for sure if you talk to an Atlanta wrongful death lawyer.

That's why we want to meet with you at the Law Offices of Gary Martin Hays & Associates, P.C. We have years of experience handling complicated cases in Fulton County.

We know what evidence matters. We know what strategies work best. And we're prepared to go the distance for you and your family.

Types of wrongful death cases

Wrongful death cases can cover a wide range. In general, any personal injury accident can be a wrongful death case if someone dies as a result of someone else's actions or negligence. Some of the most common wrongful death cases we deal with in Atlanta include:

  • Fatal car accidents
  • Swimming pool drownings
  • Medical malpractice cases
  • Fatal truck accidents
  • Deadly dog attacks
  • Fatal motorcycle accidents

Whatever the circumstances of your accident, no matter how complicated or straightforward it might seem, we want to help you hold the person accountable for your loved one's death.

We fight to get funeral and burial costs paid

The sudden loss of a loved one can place an immense financial burden on your family, especially when it comes to covering funeral and burial expenses. These costs can quickly add up, which only exasperate your grief and financial stress. The wrongful death attorneys at Gary Martin Hays & Associates work tirelessly to ensure that these expenses are covered by those responsible.

We understand that no one should have to worry about affording a proper farewell for their loved one, and we fight to make sure that your family is not left bearing these costs alone.

Flowers on the casket of an Atlanta wrongful death victimDealing with the legalities of estate and probate matters in a wrongful death case can be overwhelming, particularly when you are already coping with the loss of a loved one.

Our law firm can fight to get justice for your family

While financial compensation is an important aspect of a wrongful death claim, we understand that your case is about much more than just money. It’s about holding the responsible party accountable for their actions and seeking justice for the harm they’ve caused.

At Gary Martin Hays & Associates, we’re committed to fighting for the justice your family deserves. We will pursue every legal avenue to ensure that those at fault are held accountable and that your family’s rights are protected. Our ultimate goal is to bring you a sense of closure and to honor the memory of your loved one by securing the justice they deserve.

We want to help your family

You might think you don't need a lawyer if someone clearly caused your loved one's fatal accident. All you have to do is call the police, contact your insurance company and they will take care of everything, right?

Don't be so sure. In many cases, wrongful death claims can quickly become very complicated and very contentious. The person who caused the crash might deny doing anything wrong. They might even point the finger at your family member.

And then there are the insurance companies. Since there's often so much money at stake in wrongful death cases, they do everything they can to reduce or deny wrongful death claims.

We know how to negotiate effectively with insurance companies. And if they refuse to cooperate, we're prepared to take them to court on your family's behalf.

Your case is about more than just money to us. It's about holding someone responsible for their actions. It's about defending your family's rights. It's about justice.
