Wrongful Death

Beier, Beier & Beier represents Pennsylvania families in wrongful death cases. These cases result because a person wrongfully caused the death of another.  When this occurs, a family member or beneficiary of the deceased may file a wrongful death suit to recover damages that compensate for the benefits or earnings the deceased person would have contributed.

Wrongful deaths can arise in a diverse range of circumstances:

• Medical Malpractice — a physician fails to diagnose a disease at a time when it could be treated, and such misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis causes the death of the patient.
• Car Accident — a driver runs a red light and collides with another car, killing a passenger in the other vehicle.
• Prescription Drugs — a patient ingests a prescription drug that causes him to suffer a stroke or heart attack.

Surviving the death of a loved one can be a difficult and emotional time. Our firm can help you figure out whether you are entitled to damages that compensate you for your loss. A survivor or beneficiary may recover damages that encompass a range of benefits and expenses. These include lost inheritance, the loss of the decedent's companionship and care, death-related expenses like funeral costs, loss of insurance benefits, and mental distress and psychological pain associated with the death.

If you live in Pennsylvania and have lost a loved one because of another's negligence, you might be able to receive compensation under the law. Call us at (412) 281-8539 or contact us online for a free consultation.
