Experienced Wrongful Death Attorneys Who Fight for Families Left Behind

Losing a loved one is devastating—especially when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence. Whether the result of a medical mistake, a serious car accident, a workplace injury, or a defective product, wrongful death cases are some of the most painful and personal matters we handle at Welch, Donlon & Czarples.

We know that no lawsuit can bring your loved one back. But pursuing justice can bring closure, hold the responsible parties accountable, and help secure your family’s financial future.

We Have Handled Many Wrongful Death Cases. We Understand the Stakes.

At Welch, Donlon & Czarples, we have represented numerous families across New York and Pennsylvania in wrongful death lawsuits. Our experienced trial lawyers know how to build strong legal cases while offering compassionate guidance every step of the way. We’re here not just as attorneys—but as people who truly care about helping families through the hardest chapter of their lives.

Wrongful death claims often arise from:

  • Fatal car accidents

  • Medical malpractice

  • Workplace accidents

  • Defective medical devices or medications

  • Unsafe property conditions

What Is a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to pursue financial compensation for losses related to their loved one’s death. These losses may include:

  • Loss of income and financial support

  • Funeral and burial expenses

  • Medical costs prior to death

  • Loss of parental guidance, companionship, and care

  • Conscious pain and suffering endured by the deceased (in a related “survival action”)

We know that talking about these things can be incredibly difficult. We promise to listen without pressure—and to protect your family’s rights with dignity and respect.

At Welch, Donlon & Czarples, our commitment to families doesn’t stop at the courtroom. We are active advocates for updating New York’s outdated wrongful death laws to make them fairer and more compassionate. Attorney Anna Czarples currently serves on the Board of Directors of the New York State Trial Academy, and our firm proudly supports the Grieving Families Act—a proposed law that would modernize New York’s wrongful death statute to recognize emotional loss and the full impact a death has on surviving loved ones. Alongside other trial lawyers and advocacy organizations across the state, we continue to push for reforms that ensure all families have access to justice and dignity under the law.
