(314) 500-HURTWhen you have lost a loved one in a tragedy such as a fatal car accident, workplace catastrophe, or the willful act
of a malicious person, it is natural to experience a wide range of emotional reactions. One action you have the
power to take after your loved one is killed is to file a wrongful death suit. Filing for wrongful death allows you
to hold the person accountable for ending your loved one’s life and also provides a source of financial compensation
for you and your family to meet your needs after the accident and honor the lost life of your loved one.

lawyer who knows how to handle and win claims like yours. The St. Louis wrongful death attorneys of Burger Law are here to stand by your side and lead your fight for accountability and
recovery. We have won millions of dollars for St. Louis wrongful death victims and other injury victims throughout
Missouri and Illinois. Contact us now by calling (314) 500-HURT to find out how we can help you and to receive a free

staffed firm of legal professionals who can handle filing the proper paperwork, communicating with the defense and
other parties involved, obtaining evidence to make your case, and other clerical tasks.
Know the value of your claim. As an experienced attorney who has been handling cases like yours for
more than two decades, your Burger Law wrongful death lawyer in St. Louis knows how to properly calculate the value
of your claim. Without this experience, it is next to impossible to understand the monetary value of damages like
pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of support. Even when it comes to economic damages like medical bills
and loss of income and benefits, your lawyer will make sure that every dollar is accounted for and that you and your
family are demanding what your case is truly worth.
Make your case. This is what you hire your lawyer to do. A strong wrongful death attorney in St.
Louis is prepared to go to any lengths to make sure you get what you and your family deserve. This includes
collecting evidence; presenting an argument for negligence, fault, and damages; negotiating a settlement with the
defense; and taking your case to trial in front of a jury of your peers if necessary. The litigation and trial
experience of your wrongful death lawyer greatly increases your chances of success in your wrongful death suit.
Offer support and guidance. One of the most valuable things your lawyer can do for you is to simply
be there for you and your family. We understand that this is an incredibly difficult time. You have lost someone you
love suddenly and tragically, and now you have to deal with the legal process of your wrongful death suit. The St.
Louis wrongful death attorneys of Burger Law take our responsibility of representing and counseling mourning
families very seriously and we understand that sometimes what you need from us most is encouragement, a kind word,
