Pennsylvania Wrongful Death Lawyers

After a death caused by another person's conduct, a family may need answers while also facing grief, practical responsibilities, and financial uncertainty. CGBAG Law Personal Injury Group helps families evaluate the legal issues with care and respect.

Beginning With the Family's Questions

You may want to understand how the incident happened, whether it could have been prevented, and who had responsibility. We begin with the available facts and explain what further investigation may be needed.

Investigating Responsibility

The necessary evidence depends on the incident. It may include witness information, reports, photographs, records, contracts, and expert analysis. We review the potential defendants and the legal grounds for any claim before making recommendations.

Identifying the Proper Claims and Parties

Wrongful death and survival claims address different losses and may involve different procedural requirements. Who may bring a claim, the role of an estate representative, and how losses are evaluated depend on the circumstances. We explain these issues before asking a family to make decisions about representation or settlement.

Understanding the Losses

The legal evaluation should account for the evidence of losses the law allows, not simply a headline dollar figure. Relevant information may concern income, support, services, expenses, and other consequences of the death. The availability of any category depends on the claims and facts.

Questions Families Often Ask

Do we need every record before calling?

No. Start with what you know. We can discuss which records may be useful and what needs further investigation.

Will the case necessarily go to trial?

No. Some claims resolve through negotiation, while others require litigation. The path depends on the evidence, disputed issues, and the parties' positions.

Can you tell us what the case is worth immediately?

A responsible evaluation requires information about responsibility, the legally recoverable losses, and available coverage. We explain what is known and what still needs investigation.
