Wrongful Death

Legal Representation After the Death of a Loved One

Have you lost a family member in an accident that someone else caused? Few accidents are more traumatizing than these, which is why Balzarini & Watson is prepared to help you hold the liable party accountable for your loss. Family members and dependents of fatal accident victims have the right to file a wrongful death claim within two years of their loved one’s accident-related death. Although nothing can truly compensate for your loss, you should not let the responsible party get away with their negligence or recklessness after causing a tragic accident. You can learn more about the elements of a wrongful death claim on our blog.

What damages can I recover through a wrongful death claim?

By filing a wrongful death claim, you and any immediate family or dependents of the decedent can recover damages for financial loss and emotional trauma. Wrongful death damages include:

  • funeral and burial expenses,
  • loss of income,
  • grief counseling fees,
  • pain and suffering,
  • loss of companionship,
  • and loss of consortium.

Some of these damages have a set monetary value that can be easily established by presenting bills and receipts, while others require the skilled and aggressive argument of a Pittsburgh wrongful death attorney. Call the offices of Balzarini & Watson today to find out exactly what we can do to handle your wrongful death case.
