Why this case matters
Wrongful Death Lawyer cases in Lithonia.
There is no recovery from losing a family member to someone else’s negligence. But there is justice, and there is the financial security your family needs to move forward. Landry Legal handles wrongful death cases with both compassion and aggressive advocacy.
Lithonia's proximity to I-20 and the Stone Mountain Freeway (US-78) exposes the area to heavy traffic volumes. The Panola Road and Covington Highway corridors are frequent accident sites.
“Georgia is one of the only states that allows recovery of the "full value of the life of the decedent" — both economic and intangible. We make sure no insurance company low-balls a Georgia family on what their loved one’s life was worth.”
