A Personalized Strategy for Your Unique Wrongful Death Claim

We see you as a client who is in immense pain and deserving of justice—not merely a case. We:

• Want to learn who your loved one was and what you have lost since their passing
• Will show you empathy, respect, and compassion
• Will use a case strategy and approach that reflects your unique needs and desires

Of course, our goal is to secure a favorable settlement or verdict that compensates you for your tragic loss.

Preparation for Trial in Wrongful Death Cases

Our attorneys have handled fatal car accident cases, slip and fall accidents, and a long list of other fatal case types. In many of these cases, we have convinced juries to award our clients substantial compensation.

If it becomes clear that trial is the right decision for you and your case, your wrongful death lawyer serving Lebanon will take your case to trial.

Legal Representation on a Contingency Fee Basis

Our firm has represented injured accident victims for more than 40 years, and we have:

• Never asked for a flat fee
• Never charged an hourly rate
• Always tied our fee to our performance (we only receive a percentage of any settlement or verdict we secure for you)
• Always paid the required case costs

Those who lose loved ones should not have to worry about the cost of hiring an attorney. With us, you will not.

Our Former Clients Have Seen Our Dedication Firsthand

If you are going to hire a wrongful death lawyer, you deserve to hear client recommendations of how that lawyer served them, such as:

• “It will never give me back what I lost but it was something…it’s kind of like something that made you feel there is some justice in the world. Berger Green, you know, they’re the best”

This is just one of the countless reviews that Berger and Green continually receives from former clients. We will do right by you and your loved ones, as you deserve nothing less in the wake of a life-changing loss.

How Our Mount Lebanon Wrongful Death Lawyers Will Handle Your Case

We are a firm of finishers. As soon as a Mount Lebanon wrongful death lawyer from our team accepts your case, their goal is to secure maximum compensation for you.

Steps we generally take to succeed in wrongful death actions include:

• Gather evidence from your loved one’s accident, consisting of photos and video footage, eyewitness accounts of the fatal event, expert testimony as to the cause of your loved one’s passing, and other relevant evidence and information
• Identify the at-fault party liable for damages, including all economic and non-economic harm resulting from your loved one’s passing (the cost of a wrongful death takes many forms)
• Document each of your recoverable damages, which may require proof of the decedent’s past income, mental health experts’ evaluation of your grief and other types of pain and suffering, and several other forms of documentation
• Pursue a fair settlement, which your lawyer will do while protecting your right to privacy and mourning
• Prepare your wrongful death lawsuit, and take your case to trial if you decide we should do so

We will maintain regular contact with you while also respecting your need to grieve in peace.

Types of Non-Economic Damages We Will Pursue in Your Case

Losing a loved one often means experiencing:

• Loss of companionship and many other forms of non-economic value the decedent provided their loved ones
• Losing financial support the decedent provided, including income
• Losing the decedent’s contributions to the household, which may have included handiwork and security

Those affected face funeral expenses, grief, and other damages that your lawsuit will address.

While we can discuss these damages, we know that your loved one was one of a kind. We will discuss with you the unique losses that their passing has caused, and we will fight for justice in their memory.
