When You’re Dealing with the Pain of a Wrongful Death, Lean on Our Firm for Support and Legal Services

Nobody can understand the devastating pain of losing a loved one in preventable circumstances—not unless they’ve experienced it. Attorneys Lawrence Kalikhman, Eric Rayz, and our team members feel a great obligation to be there for our fellow Pennsylvanians in their time of grief.

You should hire our attorneys because:

We Have Been Fighting Passionately for Our Clients Since 2005

Experience makes a difference in our line of work. We have been fighting for clients since 2005, helping thousands of clients and securing tens of millions of dollars during that span. Having two decades of experience means:

  • We have a realistic understanding of what wrongful death cases require
  • Our attorneys are prepared for the many hurdles that can come with wrongful death cases
  • Our firm has extensive and valuable relationships with experts who can help up support our clients’ injury claims throughout Pennsylvania

Getting justice for our clients feels like second nature, but we still handle each case like it is our most important. We act like we have something to prove because that’s what you deserve in an attorney.

We Uplift and Empower Those We Represent

We understand what you’re going through, and we will work to empower and uplift you by:

  • Keeping you informed about your case
  • Presenting information and decisions in simple terms, allowing you to make confident choices
  • Fighting for you, as we believe that our approach can set the tone for your case and empower you to become passionate about getting justice

Our lawyers spend time trying to understand what our clients are going through. For instance, as Johns Hopkins Medicine notes, we know that sudden losses can produce a type of complex grief that more prolonged deaths may not. Our care for you will be apparent from your first interaction with our team to the last.

Empathy Is in Our Firm’s DNA

You need great legal service. Just as much, you need empathy and compassion. Kalikhman & Rayz provides both, and we will:

  • Encourage you to tell your story, show your emotions, and feel safe doing so
  • Handle your case in a manner that reflects the gravity and sensitivity of your circumstances

There is nothing easy about losing a loved one. Even so, we want to make things a bit easier for you by taking your case on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront fees or out-of-pocket costs when you hire us. We only receive a fee if you receive a settlement or judgment.

Call our firm today for your free, no-obligation consultation.

"The outcome of a case often comes down to preparation. We build every claim as if it may go to trial."

Eric Rayz, Founding Partner

Your Lawyer Will Pursue a Just Outcome in Response to a Tragic Loss

Each new case we accept requires a new strategy. We will conduct your consultation, get all the information we need from you, and present you with our plan for securing the compensation you deserve. That plan may include:

Investigating the Circumstances Surrounding Your Loved One’s Passing

We will obtain all evidence that helps explain the actions and incident that led to the loss of your family member. This could include witness testimony, expert testimony, video, and several other types of evidence.

Documenting All Harm Resulting from the Wrongful Death

We might show the cost of your loved one’s passing with:

  • Invoices for funeral services
  • A mental health professional’s evaluation of your pain and suffering
  • Proof of the decedent’s past income
  • Medical bills

These are just a few types of documentation that may help us show the toll of your loss.

Completing Settlement Negotiations

Our attorneys enter negotiations prepared and ready to fight for our clients. We have precise financial goals, and we do everything in our power to achieve those goals.

We will move forward with a trial if necessary, and we will have a transparent conversation about that option with you beforehand. We are fighters, and we are determined to seek a verdict that helps your family through this difficult time.

Damages We Often See When Managing Wrongful Death Cases

When our Abington Township attorneys accept a wrongful death case, we know that you can have unique losses related to your loved one’s passing. The compensation we can pursue will address losses such as:

  • Pain and suffering, which may include depression, lost quality of life, mood and personality changes, anxiety, and sleep loss
  • Lost financial support, which can apply whether or not the decedent was the primary earner
  • Funeral costs and medical expenses, which can be substantial one-time expenses
  • Loss of consortium, which often includes a spouse’s loss of companionship when their partner passes away

We understand that your family is feeling this loss deeply, and it is our mission to fight for full and fair compensation. Your family is in pain, and a settlement or verdict should acknowledge all of these losses.

FAQs

What is the difference between a wrongful death and a survival action in Pennsylvania?

A wrongful death claim compensates family members for their own losses, such as lost financial support. A survival action is filed on behalf of the deceased person’s estate to recover damages they could have sought if they lived, such as pain and suffering before death.

Are funeral expenses at local homes like Helweg & Rowland recoverable?

Yes. In a successful wrongful death claim, you can recover reasonable costs for funeral and burial services. This includes expenses paid to local Abington funeral homes or costs associated with interment at sites like Hillside Cemetery, helping to alleviate the family’s financial burden.

What is the statute of limitations for a wrongful death case in Montgomery County?

Families generally have two years from the date of the death to file a lawsuit in the Montgomery County court system. Because evidence and witness memories fade quickly, contacting an Abington Township wrongful death lawyer early is vital to ensure your claim meets all Pennsylvania filing deadlines.

Can I file a claim if a family member died at a Meadowbrook nursing home?

Nursing homes have a duty to prevent fatal neglect, such as untreated infections or falls. If a loved one died due to substandard care in a Meadowbrook-area facility, an Abington Township lawyer can help you hold the corporation accountable for medical malpractice and wrongful death.
