Fighting for Families After a Wrongful Death
The sudden loss of a loved one due to someone else's negligence is one of the most devastating experiences a family can endure. Beyond the emotional toll, families often face mounting medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income that the deceased would have provided. Georgia's wrongful death statute (O.C.G.A. § 51-4-1) provides surviving family members with the right to seek compensation for the "full value of the life" of their loved one.
Attorney Brent Sherota — a member of the State Bar of Georgia since 2008 — handles wrongful death cases with the compassion and tenacity that grieving families deserve. He understands that no amount of money can replace a loved one, but holding the responsible parties accountable and securing financial stability for the surviving family is a critical step in the healing process.
Georgia is one of the few states that measures wrongful death damages by the "full value of the life" of the deceased — not merely their economic contributions. This includes the intangible value of the person's life, their companionship, guidance, and the loss felt by the surviving family. Attorney Sherota fights to ensure that juries understand the true impact of the loss.
