Wrongful Death Lawyers Serving Montgomery County and Greater Philadelphia
When someone dies because of another person’s negligence, the family is left with grief and a long list of practical questions. A wrongful death lawyer can explain a family’s options and fight for what they are owed after a car crash, a truck collision, or another preventable death.
Wrongful Death Cases We Handle
When a death was caused by someone else’s failure to act with care, we can hold them accountable.
Cases often involve:
Car Accidents
A high-speed or head-on crash can take a life in seconds, and the driver at fault may face a claim from the family.
Commercial Truck Crashes
Trucks are heavy and hard to stop. When a driver or a trucking company ignored safety rules, we pursue them and their insurers.
Slip and Falls
A fall on a dangerous staircase or walkway can be fatal, especially for older adults.
Rideshare Accidents
Passengers, drivers, and others on the road can be killed in a rideshare crash.
Medical Malpractice
A missed diagnosis, a surgical error, or a medication mistake can cost a patient their life.
Defective Vehicles
A failed brake, airbag, or other safety part can turn a survivable crash into a deadly one.
Nursing Home Negligence
Neglect, falls, and untreated problems can lead to the death of a resident.
Work-Related Injuries
Falls, machinery, and unsafe job sites can be fatal.
How a Wrongful Death Affects a Family
A death caused by negligence leaves a family with financial and personal losses at the same time. A wrongful death claim can address:
- Lost Income and Benefits: The wages and benefits a person would have provided over the years.
- Medical and Funeral Costs: Bills from final treatment, plus funeral and burial expenses.
- Loss of Companionship and Guidance: The daily presence, advice, and care a family member provided.
- Help Around the Home: The childcare and household work that now has to be covered another way.
- Pain Before Death: In some cases, the suffering a person went through before they died.
Pennsylvania has rules about who can bring a claim and how long a family has to file. We can explain how those rules apply, and what a claim may be able to cover.
