Average Wrongful Death Lead Cost – 2025 Report

The average wrongful death lead cost is $531, but this can vary significantly based on marketing channel, region, and cause of injury. The landscape for wrongful death leads is being pulled in several different directions. While traditional programs like direct mail, billboards, and referral programs are relatively stable in cost, TV advertising and various online efforts have grown more competitive. In addition, a more mature search and social media advertising combined with market saturation in major metropolitan areas has led to increasing costs online.

However, there remain several avenues where law firms can still find positive ROI. After running the numbers across channel, region and type of injury sustained by the potential plaintiff, we have discovered some potential ways to stay ahead of the competition. Below are our findings. 

 

Cost Per Wrongful Death Lead Versus Marketing Channel

Marketing Channel CPL Range (USD) Notes
Google Ads (Search) $500 – $1,000 Highly competitive; targeted keywords can be expensive.
Social Media Ads (e.g., Facebook) $300 – $800 Effective for demographic targeting; varies by audience size.
Legal Lead Aggregators $400 – $900 Pre-qualified leads from specialized networks; often premium pricing.
SEO (Organic Traffic) $100 – $300 Lower upfront cost but requires long-term investment in quality content.
Content Marketing $150 – $400 Includes blog posts, videos, and infographics; lower CPL over time.
Local TV Advertising $700 – $1,000 Broad reach but less targeted; may yield higher costs per qualified lead.
Direct Mail Campaigns $400 – $700 Targeted mailers to specific zip codes or demographics.
Billboards (Outdoor Ads) $600 – $900 Effective for local brand awareness but lower conversion rate.
Referral Programs $100 – $300 Cost-effective if relationships with referring partners are established.

One of the caveats here is that average lead cost does not measure the amount of effort required to vet and screen leads. So, for example, search engine optimization may only cost law firms $200 or so, but law firms have reported to us that occasionally these leads are not actually people with wrongful death cases or are confused about what services a lawyer can provide.

Even still, it is relatively clear that although traditional methods like local TV and billboards are still in use, they have decreased in cost as a result of somewhat less competition. In many cases, that is a simple fact of a law firm’s inability to attribute leads to specific ads or billboards.

 

Average Wrongful Death Lead Cost by Region

Region Estimated CPL Range (USD) Notes
Northeast (e.g., New York, Boston) $700 – $1,200 High population density and competitive legal markets drive up CPL.
Mid-Atlantic (e.g., Washington D.C., Philadelphia) $600 – $1,100 Competitive markets with significant demand for legal services.
Southeast (e.g., Atlanta, Miami) $500 – $900 Growing markets with increasing competition among law firms.
Midwest (e.g., Chicago, Detroit) $550 – $950 Moderate competition; CPL influenced by urban vs. rural settings.
Southwest (e.g., Dallas, Phoenix) $500 – $900 Expanding markets with varying CPL based on city size and competition.
West Coast (e.g., Los Angeles, San Francisco) $750 – $1,300 Highly competitive markets with elevated advertising costs.
Pacific Northwest (e.g., Seattle, Portland) $600 – $1,000 Moderate to high competition with tech-savvy advertising landscapes.
Mountain States (e.g., Denver, Salt Lake City) $450 – $800 Less saturated markets, leading to relatively lower CPL.

Before diving into the data, we should note one important fact: there are certain cities that simply drive up the cost for regions, even if there are pockets of affordability elsewhere in a state or group of states. This is particularly true for lead generation efforts in cities like New York, the Bay Area, etc.

However, the converse is also true for saturated markets with lots of firms pursuing the same leads. You can see that with the higher bottom end of the range in places like the Northeast and the West Coast, although even there, cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco still help keep costs extremely high.

The takeaway here is two-fold: one, there are definitely avenues for finding cost-effective leads in high-saturation markets, but they may not be palatable to all firms. The second is that firms in regions with smaller ranges of cost per lead, like the Mountain West, can benefit from broader campaigns.

 

Cause of Injury Plays Significant Factor in Lead Cost

Cause of Injury CPL Range (USD) Notes
Truck Accident Wrongful Death $800 – $1,500 Highly competitive due to the substantial settlements typically involved.
Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death $900 – $1,600 One of the most competitive categories; requires expert testimony.
Defective Device Wrongful Death $700 – $1,200 Often part of mass torts; costs depend on device type and geographic focus.
Workplace Accident Wrongful Death $600 – $1,100 CPL varies by industry (e.g., construction, manufacturing).
Product Liability Wrongful Death $700 – $1,300 Includes defective products causing fatal injuries; moderate competition.
Automobile Accident Wrongful Death $600 – $1,000 General auto accidents are less expensive compared to truck-specific cases.
Nursing Home Negligence $500 – $900 Lower competition but increasing due to aging population awareness.
Premises Liability Wrongful Death $450 – $800 Includes cases like slip-and-fall or unsafe property conditions.
Boating or Aviation Accidents $1,000 – $2,000 Highly niche; costs depend on rarity and potential settlement values.

Here we see another set of truisms: the bigger the potential settlement amount, the higher the lead cost. As personal injury lawyers know, the potential award or settlement derives from a bevy of factors, with the two principal ones being the complexity of the cases but also the financial stability of the defendants.

However, with a growing number of wrongful death cases arising from defective devices and drugs, one unexpected upshot is that there may be a place for lawyers who principally handle wrongful death cases. Since not all mass tort firms have significant experience with cases where a plaintiff lost their lives, there is a potential “piggyback” effect possible from general awareness if properly leveraged within the funnel.

 

Summing Up

What will work for personal injury attorneys looking for wrongful death leads in 2025 is always going to zig when other people zag. For firms that have lawyers barred in multiple states, targeting states with less competition is going to be much more fruitful than relying on the strength of advertisements, etc. Firms with experience in cases with niche causes of death should also consider focusing on them: while the prices are higher, this reflects the potential settlement amount more than it does the level of competition.
