Roger and his team have been like family to our family since this ordeal had begun. We lost our son Jalyn some years ago and those whom we felt responsible offered not as much as an apology for their hand in his death. We then decided to get a lawyer, but no one wanted to take our case as we were going up against a GIANT in the medical field here in Georgia. We then decided to go outside of our small town and then we found Roger. He honestly told us that he would look into our potential case and if there was something there....he would give us a call. That call came and our journey began. There were ups and downs throughout the process but it was explained to us by Roger in the beginning that this would be a tough case. We were notified throughout on where we stood and we were never kept in the dark about what was going on. Needless to say that our case has concluded and we were pleased with the results. Did I mention we were up against a GIANT? Thank you Roger and to your staff we offer gratitude and thanks.

I would strongly recommend Roger Krause in a wrongful death case. He is very passionate about the cases and puts his clients first. He obtained justice for our family and because of this a policy for the hospital was changed to hopefully keep other family members from going through what we have had to endure.

As you can imagine, this is nowhere near a comprehensive list of wrongful death situations. This can, however, give you a clearer idea if your case qualifies as one.

We are one of the best wrongful death lawyers in Georgia for a reason.

Unlike most lawyers who take on wrongful death lawsuits, we’re not a personal injury lawyer. We’re a wrongful death lawyer. We have built our business by getting our clients large financial settlements and justice for their loved ones time and time again, and we focus our entire practice cases just like yours.

Many lawyers act more like agents. Over 90% of lawyers outsource their work to other lawyers, leaving you with less money and lack of familiarity… but not us. At Krause Law Firm, we work on your case ourselves. We get to know you and your case on a personal level. Most personal injury lawyers just send demand letters, which only work in specific situations and only for cases under $250,000. Krause Law Firm has real trial experience, fighting for our clients and getting the vengeance they truly deserve in any situation, with no settlement cap.

Don’t wait; the time is ticking before the statute of limitations will keep you from getting the financial settlement and justice your loved one deserves. Call 404-835-8080 to speak to a lawyer now, or click the button below and we'll get back to you shortly.

Wrongful death lawsuits are allowed in Georgia only under statutory law – meaning that the law was specifically passed by the legislature and signed by the Georgia Governor.

Survivors or family members “may recover for the homicide of the spouse or parent the full value of the life of the decedent, as shown by the evidence” according to legal code O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2(a). This is a process which includes both an economic analysis, i.e. how much money would the loved one make, as well as the value of the enjoyment of life.

You should also be aware that In order to receive full damages or full compensation, one must also recover under an ‘estate’. An estate is created in the probate court that collects all the assets and liabilities of the decedent. Once an Estate is created, then, under Georgia’s wrongful death statute, O.C.G.A. § 51-4-5(b), whereby the Estate recovers the pain and suffering of the decedent, between the time of the wrongdoing and the death.

On top of this, in Georgia, the only people who can file for a wrongful death lawsuit is a child, parent or spouse of the person who died. Although others who are affected by your loved one’s untimely passing may also want to seek justice, the rights are reserved to the aforementioned family members.
