Augusta is a city rooted in history and progress, from the world-renowned Masters Tournament and expansive Medical District to Fort Eisenhower and its booming industrial corridors. But this vital, preventable tragedy can strike without warning, even in a city. Families lose loved ones every year due to fatal crashes and medical failures—deaths that should never have happened.
At Wrongful Death Krause Law Firm, we represent grieving families in Augusta and across Richmond County who are facing the unimaginable. We do not handle a broad mix of injury cases. We focus solely on wrongful death—and more specifically, on the most common and devastating causes of fatal negligence: vehicle-related crashes and medical malpractice.
Our commitment is singular and strategic. If your family lost someone in a fatal car or truck crash, a motorcycle or pedestrian collision, or because of a delayed diagnosis or hospital error, we are ready to investigate the truth and fight for the justice your loved one deserves.
Every family’s loss is personal. But across Georgia, the same patterns of negligence appear repeatedly—behind the wheel, in hospitals, and inside clinics.
At Wrongful Death Krause Law Firm, we focus our legal practice on the wrongful death cases that matter most to Augusta families:
From Washington Road traffic to collisions on I-520, Augusta drivers face real daily risks. We represent families after fatal crashes caused by speeding, distraction, DUI, or careless driving.
With a strong logistics and industrial presence in the region, fatal collisions involving commercial trucks are tragically common. We hold drivers, trucking companies, and operators accountable when poor training, fatigue, or maintenance failures lead to loss of life.
Riders are vulnerable on city streets and rural roads alike. The results can be deadly when other drivers fail to yield, follow too closely, or make unsafe left turns.
From downtown Augusta to busy intersections near schools and medical centers, pedestrians are at risk when drivers disregard crosswalks or speed through crowded areas.
Augusta is home to some of Georgia’s top medical institutions, but even highly ranked hospitals can make fatal errors. We investigate surgical mistakes, treatment failures, and preventable deaths tied to substandard care.
A delayed or missed diagnosis of stroke, cancer, or other life-threatening illnesses can cost a patient their life. We represent families when medical providers fail to act in time.
Fatal outcomes in hospitals are often the result of systemic issues—poor communication, understaffing, medication errors, or failure to respond to declining conditions. We dig deep to find out what went wrong.
These cases require more than routine representation. They demand a law firm that has built its entire practice around uncovering how and why wrongful deaths occur—and holding those responsible to account.
Wrongful death law is not a side practice for us—it’s all we do. Our founder, attorney Roger Krause, built this firm to serve grieving families with the full weight of legal skill, investigative resources, and courtroom experience.
By focusing exclusively on fatal negligence involving vehicles and medical systems, we can:
We understand that wrongful death is not only about what was lost—it’s also about ensuring no one else suffers the same fate.
When your loved one is taken too soon because of someone else’s actions, you need a legal team that sees the full weight of your loss—and is ready to do something about it.
