Pelz Law Group helps surviving family members understand the damages that may be available and builds the claim around pursuing maximum compensation under Ontario law.
A wrongful death claim is not only about one expense or one document. It can involve the financial support the person provided, the care they gave, the role they played in the family, and the future losses created by their death.
Elena Pelz reviews the evidence, the family relationship, available insurance, income history, medical records, and long term impact so the claim is prepared with a clear focus on pursuing maximum compensation.
Claims may include lost income, dependency losses, pension value, benefits, business income, and financial support the deceased person would likely have provided.
Families may be able to claim reasonable funeral, burial, cremation, memorial, and related expenses caused by the fatal incident.
Surviving family members may have a claim for the loss of care, guidance, companionship, emotional support, and family relationship.
If treatment, emergency care, medication, transportation, or other costs were connected to the final injury, those expenses may form part of the claim.
Elena Pelz helps families understand who may have a claim, what caused the fatal incident, and how to build the case around pursuing maximum compensation.
Ontario law may allow close family members to bring a claim when a loved one dies because of negligence. Elena Pelz reviews the family relationship, the circumstances of the death, and the losses each person has suffered.

Injured in an accident? Let a top rated personal injury lawyer take on your case while you focus on your recovery. Pelz Law Group pursues the maximum compensation you are entitled to under Ontario law. We never work for insurance companies. We work only for you. Request a free consultation today.
You may have a claim if another person, company or property owner failed to act reasonably and caused your injuries. The strength of the case depends on liability, medical evidence and the losses caused by the accident. Pelz Law Group can review the circumstances and explain whether compensation may be available.
Claim value depends on the seriousness of the injuries, recovery time, income loss, future care, liability and the effect on your work and daily life. A fair assessment must consider both current losses and the long term consequences of the accident.
Pelz Law Group offers free consultations and handles qualifying claims without upfront legal fees. No fees are charged unless the case is won or settled. The fee agreement is explained clearly before representation begins.
Many Ontario claims must be started within two years, but shorter notice periods may apply depending on how the accident happened and who is responsible. Contacting a lawyer promptly helps preserve evidence and protect important deadlines.
A car accident claim may include compensation for pain and suffering, income loss, treatment, rehabilitation and future care. Statutory Accident Benefits may also be available regardless of fault. A car accident lawyer can assess both parts of the claim and address insurer disputes.
Truck collisions may involve a commercial driver, transport company, vehicle owner, maintenance contractor or several insurance policies. These claims often require prompt investigation of driver records, company practices and vehicle evidence. Pelz Law Group handles truck accident claims involving serious injuries and disputed liability.
Motorcycle claims often involve severe injuries, disputed fault and unfair assumptions about rider behaviour. Road conditions, visibility, vehicle movements and medical evidence must be examined carefully. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer can challenge insurer arguments and pursue the full value of the claim.
Statutory Accident Benefits provide treatment and financial support after an Ontario motor vehicle accident. They may cover rehabilitation, income replacement and personal care needs even when another driver was not responsible for the collision.
Drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and certain other people injured in a motor vehicle accident may qualify. Eligibility depends on the accident, available insurance and whether the injuries were caused by the collision. A denial can be reviewed and challenged.
Yes. Compensation may be available when a cyclist, pedestrian, e bike rider or e scooter rider is injured by a negligent driver or unsafe roadway condition. Coverage and liability depend on how the accident occurred. Learn more about bicycle accident claims, e bike claims and e scooter claims.
A strong claim shows that an unsafe condition existed, the property owner failed to take reasonable care and the hazard caused a documented injury. Photographs, witness information, incident reports and medical records can help establish what happened. Read more about slip and fall claims.
Catastrophic impairment is a legal and medical designation for severe injuries that cause profound physical, cognitive or psychological loss. The assessment follows specific criteria and can significantly affect available accident benefits and future care funding. Learn more about catastrophic injury claims.
Yes. A concussion may support a claim when symptoms affect memory, concentration, sleep, mood, employment or daily function. Because these injuries may not appear clearly on routine imaging, consistent medical records and evidence of functional change are particularly important.
Compensation should account for treatment, income loss, reduced independence, mobility needs and future care. Serious spinal injury claims require detailed medical and financial evidence so lifelong needs are not undervalued during settlement discussions.
Continue treatment, obtain the insurer's written reasons and do not assume the denial is final. Avoid signing a release before the policy and medical evidence are reviewed. Pelz Law Group challenges denied long term disability claims throughout Ontario.
An insurer may terminate benefits if it claims that you no longer meet the policy definition of disability. That decision is not necessarily final. The policy wording, medical restrictions, employment duties and insurer's reasons should be reviewed before accepting the termination.
Eligible family members may pursue compensation when negligence causes a death. The claim may address financial dependency, funeral expenses and the loss of care, guidance and companionship. Pelz Law Group represents families in wrongful death claims across Ontario.
Yes. Ontario law may allow compensation even when responsibility is shared. The amount recovered can be reduced according to the percentage of fault assigned to each party. Do not accept an insurer's fault assessment without reviewing the available evidence.
Not before the injuries, income loss and future care needs are properly understood. Early offers may not reflect the full impact of the accident and usually require a final release. Pelz Law Group can review the offer and determine whether it fairly addresses the claim.
Free consultations. No fees unless your case is won or settled.
