You can’t go wrong with [Bruntrager & Billings P.C.]. Don’t just trust my word for it though. See for yourself or better yet, ask other attorneys who they would personally use. I’m sure you’d hear not just one, but several of [their] names.

I’ve dealt with Charlie and he is wonderful. VERY knowledgeable of the law. I would definitely recommend if you are facing hardship.

When a family member dies unexpectedly due to someone else’s actions, the grief can be devastating. That loss is more than emotional – it’s often practical, financial, and life-altering in quiet, painful ways.
Wrongful death claims are not about placing a dollar sign on a life. They are about making sure your family has financial support and a sense of justice. A St. Louis wrongful death lawyer will step in to help your family pursue compensation that reflects your losses.
At Bruntrager & Billings, P.C., we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all answers. We’ll work closely with you to understand the full impact of your loss. Our goal isn’t just to file a claim. It’s to help you recover in every way that matters.
You may already know that funeral and burial expenses can be recovered, but that’s just the start. A St. Louis wrongful death attorney will work to calculate the full value of the financial support your loved one would have provided. That includes wages they would’ve earned, health insurance benefits, pension contributions, and even job-related perks that quietly supported your family.
These aren’t abstract numbers. They tell the story of a household thrown off balance. If your loved one regularly paid the mortgage, covered tuition, or took care of health insurance premiums, those contributions become part of your claim. Our lawyers will use employment records, tax documents, and economic reports to build a solid financial portrait – one that shows how your future has changed.
Some losses don’t show up in spreadsheets. Missouri law allows surviving family members to recover damages tied to emotional loss and loss of companionship. Our St. Louis wrongful death attorneys will help put these losses into words, using evidence to show what’s missing now.
Grief affects everyone differently. Whether you lost a parent, child, or spouse, the emotional fallout is unique. We’ll never reduce your relationship to a formula. Instead, we’ll present a full picture of what your loved one meant to your life. Courts consider these elements carefully, especially when they’re presented with clarity and conviction.
The everyday contributions your loved one made at home – cooking meals, caring for kids, working in the yard – don’t come with paychecks, but they absolutely matter. Our wrongful death lawyers will gather details about these contributions and include their economic value in your claim. If your spouse handled daycare duties or took care of an elderly relative, that loss can translate into very real, ongoing expenses.
You may need to hire assistance for tasks that your loved one once handled. Whether that’s childcare, eldercare, or managing household upkeep, the costs can build up quickly. Bruntrager & Billings, P.C. will calculate those shifts in your routine as part of your recovery – because life doesn’t pause after loss, and the courts understand that.
At Bruntrager & Billings, P.C., we provide compassion and follow-through for your family. We will focus on what matters most to your family’s future while respecting your grief in the present. Please schedule your free consultation by contacting us online or calling (314) 646-0066.
