Philadelphia Wrongful Death Attorneys
In the best case scenarios, injuries caused by medical error are simple and easy to treat. In the worst case scenarios, they can be fatal. When this kind of tragedy occurs, the victims’ families are left struggling to cope with their shock, confusion, and anger. At the very least, families in these difficult circumstances should have time to begin putting their lives back together.
Sadly, they cannot always receive even this small comfort. Following an unexpected death, there is often an overwhelming amount of practical and legal matters to be dealt with.

The Wrongful Death Act
Pennsylvania’s Wrongful Death Act allows surviving family members to win compensation from negligent parties responsible for their loved ones’ deaths. Generally speaking, the only people eligible for compensation are the deceased’s spouse, dependent children, or parents.
Compensation can cover both financial and emotional loss, such as:
- Medical and funeral expenses
- Loss of the deceased’s income and benefits
- Loss of companionship and support
- Pain and suffering
Successfully demonstrating negligence in court is usually not easy. An experienced Philadelphia wrongful death lawyer can provide you with further information and advice.
