Georgia law lets the surviving spouse file first, then children, then parents. The estate may also pursue certain damages. An attorney can explain who has the right to file in your situation.
Where are wrongful death cases filed near Decatur?
Decatur sits in DeKalb County, so most cases are filed at the DeKalb County Courthouse on West Trinity Place. The venue can depend on where the death occurred. A local attorney handles the filing details.

Georgia generally allows two years from the date of death. Some situations pause that clock, such as a pending estate. Because timing is critical, families should speak with a lawyer early.
