Supporting Pennsylvania Families That Have Lost Loved Ones Due To Others’ Negligence

The unexpected loss of a loved one is a devastating experience for any family. The loss only becomes more painful if your loved one was taken in an accident that he or she did not cause. Beyond the physical loss of a loved one, families also suffer the loss of everything he or she contributed to the household. Surviving family members are entitled to seek compensation for all of the losses they have suffered in these matters.

If your loved one was taken in an accident that occurred because of another person’s negligence, it is important that you seek the advice of a reliable wrongful death lawsuit lawyer. At Bellwoar Kelly, LLP, our personal injury attorneys represent families throughout southeastern Pennsylvania in wrongful death claims.

The Basis For Wrongful Death Lawsuits

If you have lost a loved one because of another person’s negligence, you could have a wrongful death case. These tragic losses can happen in many different ways, both as a result of accidental and intentional actions. Common sources of wrongful deaths include:

• Medical malpractice
• Car and truck accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Defective products
• Criminal acts

Each situation demands a thorough investigation to determine the responsible parties. Our firm stands ready to help you during these trying times.

Do You Have A Valid Wrongful Death Claim?

There are two critical elements to a valid wrongful death claim. First, it is necessary to demonstrate that the death resulted from another’s negligence or deliberate action. Next, we must establish a link between the cause of death and the accused party’s actions while outlining the resulting damages.

Compensation In Wrongful Death Cases

Various damages, or sources of compensation, could be present in a wrongful death claim. These damages include economic, noneconomic and sometimes punitive damages. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, it may be appropriate to pursue damages for the following considerations:

• Medical care
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Future income that is no longer accessible
• Benefits that are now lost
• Potential inheritance that won’t be received
• Retirement earnings that will no longer accrue
• The absence of love and companionship
• Guidance and support for children that is no longer available
• Household services that are now missing
• Your loved one’s conscious pain and suffering prior to death
• The family’s emotional distress

Additionally, any other expenses directly related to the loss may also be considered for compensation.

Calculating these damages involves considering lost wages, medical expenses and nonmonetary impacts on the family. Our team will guide you through each step to ensure you understand the process and potential outcomes.

The Legal Process For Wrongful Death Claims

Navigating the legal process for a wrongful death claim requires careful attention to detail. Eligible parties such as spouses, children, parents, dependents, and legal representatives or executors can initiate a claim. The first step in this process is to file a detailed legal complaint, followed by the meticulous gathering of necessary evidence. The collection of comprehensive evidence and documentation is essential, as it not only supports the claim but also strengthens the case significantly. Throughout this process, our attorneys are instrumental, providing strategic advice, accumulating evidence, negotiating settlements and representing you in court to ensure justice is served.
