Dedicated to Justice After Fatal Crashes and Medical Failures
In Columbus, Georgia—a city shaped by military heritage, industrial growth, and the steady flow of life along the Chattahoochee River—the unexpected loss of a loved one reverberates throughout families and the entire community. From the activity around Fort Benning to the busy corridors of Midtown and North Columbus, tragedy often strikes where it’s least expected: on the roads or in the care of a medical provider who failed to act responsibly.
At Wrongful Death Krause Law Firm, we serve families in Columbus and throughout Muscogee County who have lost someone due to fatal negligence. We are not a general personal injury firm. We focus solely on wrongful death cases, and more specifically, those involving vehicle-related fatalities and medical negligence. These are the kinds of preventable deaths that leave families seeking answers—and that demand focused legal action.
If your loved one was killed in a car crash, a pedestrian incident, a motorcycle collision, or under the care of a hospital or clinic, we are here to help. Our team brings deep knowledge, relentless advocacy, and compassionate guidance to each case we handle in Columbus and across western Georgia.
Our focus is clear: we pursue justice in cases where negligent drivers or medical providers caused a preventable death. These are the most common causes of fatal negligence we see in Columbus:
Columbus sees its share of high-speed corridors, distracted drivers, and impaired motorists. Whether your loved one was killed on Macon Road, Veterans Parkway, or I-185, we hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions behind the wheel.
With freight traffic flowing between Georgia and Alabama, deadly crashes involving tractor-trailers or commercial vehicles often require a deep investigation into trucking companies, regulations, and maintenance failures. We handle these complex claims with experience and precision.
Riders are especially vulnerable in Columbus’s urban and rural areas. When motorists fail to check blind spots, make unsafe turns, or tailgate, the consequences can be fatal. We help grieving families pursue full justice.
Pedestrian fatalities are especially tragic—and often preventable. In Columbus, crosswalks near schools, residential areas, and shopping centers can become deadly when drivers fail to yield or speed through marked zones.
Columbus is home to major medical centers, but even trusted institutions can fail patients. Surgical errors, incorrect prescriptions, or failure to respond to complications can turn treatment into a tragedy.
A missed diagnosis of cancer, infection, or other life-threatening illness may rob a person of the chance to survive. We investigate delays in care and diagnostic failures that result in death.
Whether from post-surgical complications, nurse understaffing, or lack of monitoring, preventable hospital deaths must be thoroughly investigated. We hold healthcare systems accountable when internal breakdowns lead to loss of life.
A singular goal guides each case we handle: to uncover the truth and pursue justice for the person who should still be here.
Wrongful death cases are not just legal matters—they are stories of lives lost too soon. At Wrongful Death Krause Law Firm, we understand the weight of what you’re going through. Led by attorney Roger Krause, we focus only on this area of law because we believe it deserves our full attention.
By narrowing our scope to fatal vehicle and medical negligence cases, we can:
Columbus families—especially military households, healthcare workers, and lifelong residents—deserve advocates who understand the local community and are committed to fighting for accountability.
If someone else’s negligence caused your loved one’s death—on the road or in a medical setting—you don’t have to navigate this path alone. At Wrongful Death Krause Law Firm, we focus our full attention on the types of fatal cases that leave families with more questions than answers.
Let us help you find those answers—and take the legal action your family deserves. Call us at 404-835-8080 or online for a free, confidential consultation with a wrongful death attorney serving Columbus and Muscogee County.
We’re here to carry the legal burden so you can begin healing and honoring the memory of the one you lost.
