Pennsylvania Law defines a wrongful death as one that is “caused by the wrongful act, neglect, unlawful violence, or negligence of another.” Generally, these actions constitute those that would otherwise provide grounds for a personal injury lawsuit had the victim survived. Unfortunately, since the victim is deceased, his or her loved ones must bring the suit on his or her behalf to seek compensation for damages such as medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of future income and benefits, and pain and suffering. Some of the most common contributions to wrongful death in Pennsylvania include:
- Car Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Bicycle Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Construction Accidents
- Unsafe Property Conditions
- Negligent Security
- Medical Malpractice
- Defective Products
Notably, the statute of limitations for wrongful death lawsuits in Pennsylvania is 2 years. Once this time elapses, you are no longer provided with the legal mechanisms available to survivors with wrongful death claims. In order to begin developing an effective strategy for pursuing compensation on your loved one’s behalf, it is critical to enlist the services of an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
