What is a Wrongful Death Claim in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania’s Wrongful Death Act defines a wrongful death as the death of a person caused by the neglect, wrongful act, negligence, or unlawful violence by another person. This type of claim may arise from a broad range of accidents and situations. Common incidents that might provide the legal grounds for a lawsuit include:

• Motor vehicle accidents, including accidents involving pedestrians, passenger cars, bicyclists, motorcycles, trucks, commercial vehicles, public transportation, and government vehicles
• Construction accidents and workplace fatalities
• Airplane and train accidents
• Defective product claims
• Premises liability claims
• Medical malpractice
• Nursing home abuse and elder neglect
• Intentional acts of violence and assault
• Dog attacks and animal attacks
• Explosions and fires
• Recreational activities and sports

Almost any situation can give rise to a wrongful death lawsuit if the death was caused by negligence or other wrongdoing. You do not need to worry about deciding whether your loved one’s death meets the definition of a wrongful death. Our lawyers review your case free of charge and give you the answers you need to take the next step to hold the party responsible for your loved one’s death accountable for his or her actions.

Why Should I File a Claim?

We understand that no amount of money will ease your grief. Winning a wrongful death lawsuit will not bring your family member back to you. However, pursuing a claim can help in several ways:

• You and your family may feel experience some degree of closure as you hold the person responsible for your loved one’s death accountable in court.
• The compensation from a wrongful death lawsuit can help provide for the family’s financial needs.
• The lawsuit brings to light the negligence and wrongdoing of the defendant, which could help change laws or regulations to make things safer.
• The defendants may be less likely to repeat the behavior after they are held financially liable for damages.
