Wrongful Death in the Greater Philadelphia Area

Losing a loved one is heartbreaking under any circumstances — but when that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions, it can be even more devastating. At [Law Firm Name], our experienced Philadelphia wrongful death attorneys are here to help you pursue justice and compensation for your family’s loss.

We proudly serve families throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, including Philadelphia County, Montgomery County, Delaware County, Bucks County, and Chester County.

Under Pennsylvania law, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of someone else’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions. In the Greater Philadelphia area, wrongful deaths can occur due to:

• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Construction and workplace accidents
• Dangerous or defective products
• Nursing home neglect or abuse
• Criminal acts (e.g., assault or homicide)

If your loved one died due to another party’s misconduct, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover damages.

In Pennsylvania, wrongful death claims must be filed by the personal representative (executor) of the deceased person’s estate. If the executor does not file within six months, certain family members — including a spouse, children, or parents — may file the claim on behalf of all beneficiaries.

Our Philadelphia wrongful death lawyers can guide you through the legal process and ensure your family’s rights are protected.

While no legal action can bring back your loved one, a wrongful death lawsuit can provide financial stability and hold the responsible parties accountable. In the Greater Philadelphia area, damages may include:

• Funeral and burial costs
• Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness
• Lost income and future earnings
• Loss of companionship, guidance, and support
• Pain and suffering of surviving family members
• Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm)

We will work with experts to fully assess your family’s losses and fight for the maximum compensation available under Pennsylvania law.

In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to compensation — which is why it’s critical to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
