Wrongful Death

Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Losing a loved one is terribly difficult, made more so when their death was caused by the negligence of another party. This kind of grief is not easily assuaged and you may be unsure of where to turn.

The experienced Pennsylvania wrongful death lawyers at Atlee, Hall & Brookhart, LLP are available to help you through this difficult time and ensure your family is taken care of in the years to come.

Establishing Wrongful Death

As clear cut as it may seem, establishing that your loved one was killed by someone else’s negligence can be very difficult. Wrongful death suits may be filed when a loved one has died because of such events as:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Construction accidents
• Nursing home neglect and abuse
• Defective products

Wrongful death suits are civil and are not impacted by criminal charges or cases. In many cases, a person acquitted of criminal negligence can still be held accountable for the monetary compensation won in a wrongful death suit. The wrongful death attorneys at Atlee, Hall & Brookhart, LLP can help prove your loved one’s death was avoidable, and get you the compensation you deserve.

Damages in a Wrongful Death Suit

Depending on the circumstances and the age of the victim, wrongful death suits can be brought by spouses, parents, children, and in some cases siblings and other dependents. Most commonly, damages sought include:

• Medical and funeral expenses related to the death
• Loss of present income
• Loss of projected future income
• Loss of additional financial support like tuition
• Loss of companionship and emotional suffering
