The death of a loved one is
always a terrible loss and no financial settlement can
compensate you for that. However, if the death is caused
by another person or a company, the law gives rights of
recovery to the surviving spouse or children and to the
estate. We help you file your Pennsylvania wrongful death
claim and help get you those rights.

Some common types of cases that our Pennsylvania Wrongful
death lawyers handle include:
- Fatal Medical Mistakes
- Vehicular Homicide
- Work Place Accidents
- Fatal Product Defect
- Fatal Prescription Errors
First of all, the Pennsylvania Survival Act allows the
deceased’s estate to recover any damages he / she
would have been entitled to had he / she lived. That includes
all lost income from the time of the accident to the time
of anticipated retirement, any conscious pain and suffering
the deceased went through between the time of the accident
and death, and medical expenses and funeral expenses.
Family members can recover other wrongful
death damages as well, including the loss of services from the deceased.
For instance, if a parent dies when his or her children
are young, attorneys can get compensation for the loss
of the parent’s
teaching and companionship to his children. The surviving
spouse is also entitled to damages for loss of the deceased
spouse’s companionship.
Sometimes this period is only a few minutes, and sometimes it is much longer, but the suffering that anyone goes through before death is always worthy of compensation. Any settlement money recovered under the Survival Act is distributed to the heirs to the estate, in the same way other assets of the estate are distributed.
