In Pennsylvania, the personal representative, administrator of the estate or the executor of his or her will is the appropriate person to bring a wrongful death claim. In instances where a wrongful death claim is not made within six months, the spouse, children or parents of the person who died may bring the wrongful death lawsuit.
Survivors can recover medical expenses, funeral costs and estate administration following a wrongful death. A surviving spouse and children may also recoup additional compensation.
If negligence led to your loved one’s death, the Personal Injury Group at Rudolph Clarke may be able to file a wrongful death claim and help you get the compensation you deserve.
