Are you a dependent who has suffered the wrongful death of a contributing family member in the Philadelphia area? Whether you are the spouse, child or parent of the victim, if you have suffered the wrongful death of a family member you may be entitled to compensation. In Pennsylvania, dependents and immediate family members are normally eligible to bring a wrongful death suit on behalf of the deceased to recover damages for the death of an individual “caused by the wrongful act or neglect or unlawful violence or negligence of another.”

Similarly, we refer matters outside the scope of our practice to experienced lawyers in those specialities.
Third party civil suits allow workers to recover costs for their injuries beyond workers compensation when their injuries are the result of another person’s negligence. In addition, individuals who have been injured while passing by a construction site may also be entitled to compensation.

Often this can result in serious injuries such as broken bones, fractures, concussions, lacerations and bruising. Only motor vehicle accidents result in more cases of serious injury.
