What Constitutes a Personal Injury Claim?

There are many circumstances in which a claim for compensation can be pursued, including:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Defective products
  • Medical malpractice cases
  • Workplace injuries
  • Premises liability cases

How Wrongful Death & Personal Injury Differ

These two types of cases have much in common since they are harm caused as a result of a negligent action. A major difference comes from the damages the affected injured party is seeking compensation for. Personal injury claims pursue compensation for things like medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering. Wrongful death is filed by the surviving family of a victim to seek compensation for things like lost future earnings, funeral costs, and financial support.

Life-Altering Consequences of a Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one is an accident one of the most tragic and heartbreaking moments in a person’s life. Not only must family members grieve over someone close to them, they must also take care of funeral and burial expenses, as well as determine how to divide the deceased person’s estate.

While dealing with all of this, the last thing on your mind is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party. However, successfully filing such a claim will result in the compensation and justice your family deserves.

In addition to economic damages such as funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses before the person’s death, and other tangible damages, and non-economic damages like emotional distress, as well as pain and suffering, different surviving family members can also recover the following:

  • Spouses – The surviving spouse can often recover damages for lost companionship and the emotional distress related to the death.
  • Children – Minor children, rather than adult children, may obtain damages for the lost benefits for losing a parent, including financial and emotional support and comfort.
  • Parents – Individuals who lost a minor child can recover damages for the lost relationship with the child and emotional trauma associated with the death.

If the at-fault party’s actions were particularly egregious or reckless, you may be able to recover punitive damages, which are designed to punish that party and deter such behavior in the future. During this trying time, our Cumming wrongful death attorney can protect your rights and best interests throughout the legal process while you focus on grieving.

    "Attorney Epps and his paralegal, Elicia, worked wonders for me!"
    Attorney Epps and his paralegal, Elicia, worked wonders for me! It was a really scary time, and they both reassured me and got the best result I could have hoped for for my case.
    - Lucie F.
    "I am so grateful for meeting this man."
    I don’t even know where to start when it comes to Kyle Epps. I walked into his office 3 years ago and the charges I had called for prison time. He gave me an outline on what to do, and of course, I said I’ll do this and this but not that. He pushed me hard and gave me every tool I needed to stay free. Three years later I went to court and walked out just about a free man. Not only didn’t his way work in the courtroom but it’s changed my life in every single way you could imagine. He was very stern, but he totally knew what he was talking about. His plan is 100%, it’s just a person has to do the footwork. He’s very professional and his team is on top of everything so you don’t slip through the crack. I am so grateful for meeting this man, I would not be the person I am today clean and sober if I didn’t walk into that office 3 years ago.
    - Anthony C.
    "Kyle and Elicia were beyond fantastic!"
    Kyle and Elicia were beyond fantastic! I never dreamed like most people that I would be faced with being told I want a divorce, especially after 15 years years. But they were there to make the process as easy as possible and as civil as possible and keep the kids 1st. I eventually made it through still sane all thanks to Kyle and his team. I can't say enough great things and another HUGE plus is they were beyond reasonable cost-wise! They will be my go-to for any other needs in the future.

    "I trusted him. This was the best decision I made."
    After researching for several days, I spoke to several attorneys and, The Epps Law Group was my final choice to represent me for my Simple-Battery case. Before I hired this team, I spoke to Attorney Kyle Epps directly, which made a big difference. He outlined a plan for me and said, “if you stick to the plan I give you, you will be ok”. As vague as that response was, I trusted him. This was the best decision I made.

    From the moment I began working with their team, I spoke to one of their Paralegals, Elicia Davis, assigned to my case. I cannot express how knowledgeable, non-judgmental and helpful Elicia was with navigating me through my case. It was my first time dealing with the Forsyth County courts and legal system and I had gone through an emotional rollercoaster for the first couple of months. Elicia checked in constantly throughout the early stages and did everything she could to comfort my anxiety and stick to Attorney Kyle Epps’ plan.

    As promised, I stuck to the plan 100% and I received news that my case was dropped, I no longer needed to go to court and I only need to address a fine and attend classes. I strongly believe that Attorney Epps’ work experience in the Forsyth courts, relationships with the prosecutors, and background as a police officer in Forsyth County gives his clients an advantage. He is well respected and is more than familiar with the process. His plan works and I honestly believe I would not have had the same outcome if I did not have The Epps Law Group on my side.

    "Good work, Kyle, and thanks again!"
    Kyle did his job well for me. I was struck with a DUI last year. Knowing nothing about this I hired Kyle, due to his extensive background in law enforcement and the knowledge he provided. He laid out everything about the case during our free consultation, and it made sense. He saved my license by calling for an ALS hearing and got my charge knocked down to reckless driving. I would never have been able to do that myself, especially with an already busy schedule. Good work, Kyle, and thanks again!
    - Dylan P.
    "Kyle was amazing to work with!"
    Kyle was amazing to work with! He highly exceeded my expectations and was very friendly and helpful. I have had other family members work with him and he has been overly helpful and an amazing experience to work with!!
    - Molly P.
    "Kyle did a great job on my daughter’s case, and we are very thankful."
    Kyle did a great job on my daughter’s case, and we are very thankful. Things would have been much different had we not had him as our attorney. Communicating with his office is so easy. They have a client portal that you can log into to see appointments, documents, and messages. Elicia, his paralegal, is a pleasure to deal with as well. Highly recommend Kyle.
    - Diane K.
    "He exceeded my expectations at every point."
    Kyle helped me with a family law matter and also with having a stolen car returned. He exceeded my expectations at every point. He was always available, thoughtful, knowledgeable, courteous and matter of fact. From the beginning, I always felt he had my back. If any of my friends, family, or acquaintances ever need an attorney, I will recommend Kyle.
