Wrongful Death Attorney
Serving Meadville, Erie, Mercer, PA & Beyond
If a person dies or is killed due to the misconduct or negligence of another party, the survivors might be able to sue for "wrongful death." This type of lawsuit seeks accountability and compensation for the survivors' loss; compensation can account for lost wages, funeral companionship, and emotional turmoil.
In a wrongful death case, another party must be determined to be at fault. That person could be the driver at fault in a car accident, a doctor who misdiagnosed or improperly treated a patient, or a bartender who served alcohol to a drunk driver, among others.
To successfully pursue a wrongful death case, a plaintiff will need to prove:
- The death was caused by another's negligence or misconduct
- The surviving family members or dependents are suffering monetary losses as a result of the death
An experienced wrongful death attorney can help you take this course of action.
