Focused Advocacy After Vehicle or Medical Negligence
Savannah is known for its rich history, beautiful coastal neighborhoods, and strong community ties. But behind the charm and culture, preventable tragedy can strike instantly—on I-16, near the busy Port of Savannah, or inside one of the city’s many hospitals. For families who lose a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, the impact is permanent, and the questions can be overwhelming.
At Wrongful Death Krause Law Firm, we provide dedicated legal representation for families in Savannah and throughout Chatham County after a fatal incident caused by medical error or vehicle-related negligence. We do not take on a wide range of legal matters. We focus exclusively on wrongful death—and even more specifically, on the types of cases that most often devastate Georgia families.
If your loved one was killed in a car crash, truck collision, pedestrian incident, or due to a medical failure in a hospital or clinic, we’re here to help. We investigate what happened, identify who is responsible, and fight for accountability with compassion and resolve.
Not every fatal loss is legally actionable, but many are. At our firm, we focus only on wrongful death claims arising from two of the most common and preventable causes: transportation negligence and medical malpractice.
In Savannah, we represent families in cases involving:
Fatal collisions on roads like Abercorn Street, Victory Drive, or I-95 often involve speeding, distraction, or impairment. We hold reckless drivers accountable for the lives they take.
With constant freight traffic linked to the port, deadly crashes involving tractor-trailers are a tragic reality in Savannah. These cases often involve driver fatigue, overloading, or improper maintenance, and demand aggressive investigation.
Motorcyclists on scenic Lowcountry roads face risks from inattentive drivers. We represent families after deadly collisions involving failure to yield, sudden lane changes, or tailgating.
Whether your loved one was walking downtown, near a school zone, or in a poorly marked crosswalk, pedestrian fatalities are often the result of preventable driver negligence. We seek justice for those who never had a chance to react.
When treatment in Savannah’s medical facilities results in preventable death—due to surgical error, medication mistake, or failed emergency care—we help families understand what went wrong and why.
Delayed or incorrect diagnoses of critical conditions like cancer, stroke, or infection can cost patients their lives. We pursue justice when doctors miss what they should have caught in time.
Many hospital-related fatalities are caused not by one action, but by system failures—understaffing, poor monitoring, or miscommunication. We investigate these breakdowns to hold institutions accountable.
Each case reflects a devastating loss, but it is also an opportunity to speak truth to what happened and ensure it does not happen again.
When a family loses someone unexpectedly, the legal process can feel like too much. At Wrongful Death Krause Law Firm, we handle the legal burden with clarity and care, allowing you to focus on healing. Our entire firm is dedicated to one type of case—wrongful death. That focus allows us to dig deeper, act faster, and advocate harder.
We help Savannah families by:
We do all this on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for your family.
Wrongful death cases are not simply legal matters—they are about lives that were cut short and families left behind. At Wrongful Death Krause Law Firm, we bring strength and compassion to our families. If your loved one died due to negligence in a Savannah hospital or on a Georgia roadway, let us help you uncover the truth and take action.
Call us at 404-835-8080 or online for a free, confidential consultation. Whether you live in Savannah or were visiting from out of state, we are here to guide you through this challenging process and help you pursue justice every step of the way.
