There are any number of good malpractice attorneys in the Pittsburgh area.
Most will speak to you without charge to see if you have a case that they would be interested in taking on a a contingent fee basis. (% fee from any winnings).

Re: wrongful death
Cases of this kind are handled by lawyers for a contingent fee. The lawyer fee is only paid if money is recovered for you. There are time limits which apply to death claims. Your mother needs to consult an attorney immediately.
You haven't provided enough information about the medical care. Further facts are needed to determine whether the death could and should have been prevented.
