Representing Preventable Accident Cases
Pennsylvania General Statutes defines a wrongful death as one that is "caused by the wrongful act or neglect or unlawful violence or negligence of another." The responsible party can be an individual, group of people, a company, government agency, or other entity.

Our legal team is skilled at investigating the circumstances of the accident to prove liability on the part of those responsible. There may be survival action benefits for the decedent’s estate and wrongful death action benefits available for the decedent’s heirs. We maximize the recovery when a loved one is lost to the negligence of another.
We offer representation in all types of wrongful death cases, including:
- Auto accidents
- Trucking accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
