Wrongful Death Lawyers in Savannah
Helping Grieving Families Across Chatham County Seek Justice

If you've lost a loved one due to another person's or company's negligence, Johnson Kraeuter & Sanders LLC is here to guide your family through the wrongful death process with care and with the legal acumen to pursue what your family is owed.

How We Help Chatham County Families
Filing a wrongful death claim while grieving is one of the hardest things you can be asked to do. Our attorneys take on the legal work so you can focus on your family.
We handle:
- Investigating the cause of death. We gather evidence, medical records, and witness accounts to establish exactly what happened and who's responsible.
- Identifying all liable parties. Wrongful death cases sometimes involve more than one responsible party, and we make sure everyone accountable is named in your claim.
- Managing insurance companies. We handle all communication with insurers, so you're not pressured into a settlement that undervalues your loss.
- Filing within Georgia deadlines. Georgia law provides families with a limited window to file a wrongful death claim. We file your case on time.
- Pursuing full compensation. Whether through settlement or trial, we fight for an outcome that reflects the true value of what your family has lost.

What Compensation May Be Available
A wrongful death claim in Georgia typically seeks to recover the full value of the life lost, which can include:
- The income and benefits your loved one would have earned over their lifetime
- The value of their care, companionship, and guidance to your family
- Medical expenses connected to their final injury or illness
- Funeral and burial costs
- Pain and suffering your loved one experienced before passing, pursued separately through the estate
Why You Need a Savannah Wrongful Death Lawyer
Insurance companies rarely accept responsibility for a wrongful death without a fight. Common tactics include:
- Blaming the deceased, arguing they contributed to their own death to reduce or eliminate payout
- Disputing the cause of death, especially in cases involving medical or workplace negligence
- Offering a fast, low settlement before your family understands the full value of your claim
- Delaying the process, hoping your family will accept less out of financial pressure or exhaustion
Having an attorney who recognizes these tactics from the outset protects your family from accepting less than what you're rightfully owed.
