Find a personal injury lawyer in Jefferson & Athens, GA

When people are injured by negligent, reckless or intentional acts of others, this is known as a personal injury. Under the law, individuals or corporations who are legally responsible for injuring others are required to pay monetary damages. These damages may include past and future medical expenses related to the injury, lost wages incurred while an individual is unable to work due to the injury, and damages for the individual's past and future pain and suffering. In some cases involving egregious conduct, an injured individual may also be entitled to recover punitive damages, which are intended to punish individuals or corporations who have engaged in egregious conduct and prevent them from doing it again in the future.

Wrongful Death

Under the law, a wrongful death is a death caused by someone else's careless or intentional actions. Accidental deaths, including deaths in car wrecks, workplace accidents and abusive nursing homes, can be and often are wrongful deaths. If someone in your family has suffered a wrongful death, you have the right to sue the person or institution that caused the death. Of course, no lawsuit can bring back a loved one, but a wrongful death lawsuit can help family members pay costs related to the death, seek justice for their loved one and win compensation for their own anguish.

Generally, the spouse, children or parents of a victim may file a wrongful death lawsuit, or the person in charge of the victim's estate may sue on behalf of other next of kin. Doug Lenhardt represents families throughout Georgia in wrongful death lawsuits. Our clients can recover compensation for:


  • Hospital bills, funeral costs and other financial costs of the death
  • Any loss of wages, insurance coverage and inheritance
  • Loss of the victim's love, care, companionship and guidance
  • Their own emotional pain at the loss
  • In some cases, punitive damages designed to "punish" illegal or extremely careless behavior by the wrongdoer
