What damages can I receive in a wrongful death action in Georgia? My name is Khalil Farah. I’m an attorney at Farah & Farah and in a wrongful death action in Georgia, the survivor steps into the shoes of the deceased person so they can recover all the damages that the deceased person would have been able to recover had that person survived. So, for example, they can collect the pain and suffering that the person suffered from the moment that the action started until death. They can also collect things like medical bills, loss wages, and any intangible loss of enjoyment of life that that person never got to experience.
