Criminal Defense
“Wrongful death” is a civil law concept. It has nothing to do with criminal law, although a “wrongful death” can be caused by actions which are illegal and would constitute a crime. Thus, civil wrongful death lawsuits can be filed in situations where no criminal charges are ever brought against the defendant. Likewise, a civil action for wrongful death can be brought even though criminal charges are pending against the defendant. A civil wrongful death case can be pursued before, during or after a criminal case against the wrongdoer. Any criminal case and any wrongful death case involving the same event are different proceedings and completely independent of the other. The two are not mutually exclusive and neither affects or precludes the other. Moreover, the defendant’s acquittal of criminal charges would have no bearing on the civil wrongful death case. Thus, a wrongful death claim is not defeated where the defendant escapes criminal liability. In sum, neither the filing nor the disposition of criminal charges against a defendant who causes the death of another will have any affect upon a survivor’s civil wrongful death claim. Legal Grounds for Wrongful Death Lawsuits in Georgia
DUI/DWI
The Atlanta-based lawyers at Ragland Law Firm, LLC consider dram shop and social host liability to be one of their primary areas of practice. These Georgia DUI civil lawyers only represent the victims of drunk driving in civil cases. They never represent or defend drunk drivers in civil or criminal cases. As their strong support of MADD Georgia shows, attorney Daniel Ragland is dedicated to the campaign to stop drunk driving and prevent the use of alcohol by underage teenagers. This campaign includes using Georgia’s dram shop laws to hold liquor stores, convenience stores, bars, nightclubs, restaurants and other businesses liable when they illegally sell alcohol to a minor or negligently serve alcohol to an intoxicated adult. Likewise, the campaign against drunk driving and underage drinking involves the use of Georgia’s social host laws to hold parents, homeowners, employers and party sponsors accountable when they illegally or negligently provide alcohol to an intoxicated or underage driver. Any victim of a drunk driving crash should immediately retain a Georgia DUI civil attorney to investigate whether there are meritorious dram shop or social host claims against the individual or business responsible for supplying the adult or underage drunk driver with alcohol.

Wrongful Death
The civil trial attorneys at Ragland Law Firm, LLC are focused upon complex civil litigation arising from severe injury, wrongful death, insurance disputes and unfair business practices. They have particular expertise in the following areas...
Traffic Violations
The Asplundh Corporation agreed to settle a Naples, Florida lawsuit filed by a young female who sustained traumatic brain injuries when she lost control of her car, crossed the yellow center line, and was struck by a large commercial truck. The plaintiff shared significant fault because her use of a cell phone contributed to her losing control and sliding sideways in the opposite bound lane where her car was struck by a large Asplundh truck. An accident reconstruction expert was retained and his calculations showed that the Asplundh truck was speeding and could have stopped prior to the point of impact if it had been traveling at or below the speed limit. The plaintiff will receive payments totaling more than $1 million over her lifetime.
Sex Crimes
Sexual molestation of a child or teenager by a day care worker, teacher, minister, coach, club leader, babysitter, caregiver or other adult
Fraud
Not infrequently, incompetent or aggressive security personnel mistakenly accuse innocent people of having committed a crime. This can lead to the wrongful detention and/or malicious prosecution of an innocent citizen. Most often, these cases involve overzealous loss prevention staff at a retail store who suspect a customer is shoplifting or committing credit card fraud. Many innocent patrons have suffered the humiliation and trauma of being stopped, detained, questioned or escorted by unqualified or fanatical security officers or loss prevention staff who suspected or accused them of shoplifting or committing other crimes. There are hundreds of reported cases where innocent shoppers have been escorted to closed rooms and wrongfully detained by a retail store’s security for hours, sometimes having to face harassment, intimidation and frightening interrogatories. Most disturbing, there are known cases where teenagers and females of all ages have been molested by security officers during such wrongful detentions. Sometimes, security or loss prevention personnel have innocent persons arrested by police and then press criminal charges against the accused.
Robbery
The duty to exercise reasonable care in protecting individuals from violent perpetrators falls upon almost all owners of commercial property and businesses that invite customers to their premises. Therefore, claims of negligent or inadequate security have been asserted in Georgia and other states against many different types of commercial entities ranging from companies that own or lease apartments, hotels, shopping malls or office buildings, to businesses that operate nightclubs, convenience stores, concert arenas or amusement parks. The duty to provide adequate security also applies to common carriers (such as buses, trains, subways, shuttles, taxis and cruise ships) which provide transportation services to the public. Finally, hospitals, mental health facilities, nursing homes and drug/alcohol treatment centers also have a duty to protect the elderly, disabled, infirmed or vulnerable patients in their custody or care. Likewise, pre-schools and daycare centers are charged with the responsibility of closely watching the children in their care and guarding them against abduction, molestation or other criminal acts by employees, parents or strangers. In sum, lawsuits alleging inadequate or negligent security can involve situations where a tenant, renter, guest, customer, ticket-holder, passenger, patient or employee is physically injured or psychologically traumatized due to an assault, rape, shooting, mugging, robbery, abduction, or other crime which takes place at any of the following locations...
Burglary
Assault
Anyone victimized by the mistakes or outrageous behavior of an unstable, capricious or incompetent security guard or loss prevention employee has the legal right to file a lawsuit and seek compensation for any physical injuries, emotional distress, psychological trauma, financial loss and/or defamation of character they have suffered. In Georgia and most other states, persons who have been wrongfully detained or falsely accused of a crime they did not commit may have a potential claim for assault and battery (if there was force or physical contact by security personnel), false imprisonment, false arrest, malicious prosecution, defamation, and/or intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Georgia attorneys at Ragland Law Firm, LLC are able to pursue these types of claims against the retailers and other businesses which employed or used poorly trained, aggressive or dangerous guards, security officers, or loss prevention personnel. Legal Representation from Atlanta Lawyers Experienced in
Homicide
See O.C.G.A. §§ 40-6-391 (DUI), 40-6-393 (vehicular homicide) and 40-6-394 (serious injury by vehicle). Thus, drunk driving constitutes criminally reckless conduct, whereas driving errors made by sober motorists give rise only to a claim of negligence.
Shoplifting
Overzealous Security – involves claims of injury, wrongful death, false imprisonment or malicious prosecution which occur because an aggressive or untrained security guard, bouncer or loss prevention employee was negligent or overzealous, used excessive or unreasonable force, and/or falsely accused someone of shoplifting or other crime they did not commit.
Kidnapping
Negligent or inadequate security is often to blame for the preventable assault, rape, or homicide of an innocent crime victim. The Atlanta-based crime victim lawyers at Ragland Law Firm, LLC have the experience and expertise needed to pursue litigation against businesses whose negligence in failing to provide adequate security placed a tenant or customer at greater risk of being victimized by the criminal acts of a third party. When assault, rape, kidnapping or other violence takes place in or around a hotel, apartment, shopping mall, nightclub, MARTA station, office building, concert arena, parking lot or similar venue, any victim is justified in asking whether the crime could have been prevented by better security measures. If there is sufficient evidence that needed security was lacking, inadequate or negligently performed, the culpable parties can and should be held liable for the victim’s damages. Because of our focus on crime victim advocacy, we are well prepared to vigorously pursue personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits against any commercial venture which is to blame for negligent or inadequate security in Georgia and other states.

Workers Compensation
Mediation resulted in the settlement of a Fulton County lawsuit which claimed that a worker fell from an unsafely designed and negligently maintained billboard resulting in a spinal cord injury and partial paralysis. The plaintiff will receive upfront cash plus lifetime benefits of nearly $1 million. The injured worker also pursued a workers compensation case which will provide additional benefits.
Employment Litigation
The malpractice insurer for an Atlanta attorney agreed to settle a lawsuit involving legal negligence which caused his client’s product liability lawsuit to be dismissed by the trial judge. The underlying case involved a defective medical device used in spinal surgery. Employment Disputes / Sexual Harassment

We also regularly handle other types of individual tort cases which involve great personal harm even though no actual bodily injury has been sustained. Negligent, criminal and other wrongful conduct can cause financial loss, severe emotional distress, psychological harm, loss of liberty, violation of civil rights, injury to reputation and other non-physical injury. When this occurs, we are prepared to pursue civil claims for invasion of privacy, false arrest, malicious prosecution, assault and battery, defamation, sexual harassment and/or intentional infliction of emotional distress. Some examples of these type cases would include...

Probate

Bankruptcy
These differences will have a significant impact upon any civil case involving injuries or deaths caused by a drunk driving crash. Drunk driving victims should be aware that they have unique legal claims and that their legal case should not be handled in the same way as a typical motor vehicle “accident” involving negligent but unimpaired drivers. For example, in a drunk driving case, an injured victim can assert a claim for punitive damages against the drunk driver. In contrast, punitive damages cannot be sought in accident cases where the sober at-fault driver is only accused of being negligent. Also, cases against drunk drivers are given special treatment under federal bankruptcy law. Under the current bankruptcy code, a drunk driver is not entitled to obtain a bankruptcy discharge of any judgment rendered against him in any civil case pursued by the victims of the drunk driving crash. Therefore, the threat of bankruptcy should not alone deter victims from pursuing lawsuits against drunk drivers. Also, there are potential civil claims which are unique to drunk driving cases. These include...
