Georgia wrongful death attorney Shane Smith can help a victim's family receive compensation for their loss.

The parents of a Georgia teen whose body was found inside a rolled-up gym mat at his high school have filed a wrongful death suit against school officials.

The local sheriff ruled the death a freak accident but the parents maintain that their 17-year-old son was murdered. The lawsuit claims the school board, the school superintendent and the high school's principal failed to protect the boy. The parents claim their son was harassed and threatened and the school failed to interview anyone regarding the threats.

If a death is caused by the negligence of another then the decedent's family may be entitled to legal relief through a wrongful death lawsuit. You should hire an experienced Clayton County wrongful death attorney if you will file a lawsuit on behalf of a family member who died due to another's negligence.
