Pennsylvania Wrongful Death Lawyers

Wrongful death is any death that occurs because of a wrongful act of another person. This includes vehicular manslaughter, assault/battery, and negligence.

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is a devastating and life-altering situation. The experienced wrongful death attorneys at Mooney Law understand that nothing can compensate for their loss. However, some financial compensation can help ease the burden of their absence.

Understanding Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Central Pennsylvania

Dealing with the loss of a loved one is an incredibly difficult time for any family. When their death is the result of someone else’s negligence, the situation becomes even more challenging.

At Mooney Law, we are here to guide you through filing a wrongful death claim in Central Pennsylvania. It’s important to understand who is eligible to take this legal step.

Eligible Family Members

In Central Pennsylvania, wrongful death claims are typically filed by the deceased person’s immediate family members. This often includes:

  • Spouses: A surviving spouse can file a claim to seek compensation for losing companionship and financial support.
  • Children: Minor children, and sometimes adult children, can file a claim for the loss of parental guidance, support, and companionship.
  • Parents: The parents of a deceased minor or an adult child, under certain circumstances, can file a claim for the emotional pain and suffering caused by their loss.

The Role of the Estate Representative

In some cases, the wrongful death claim may be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate. This representative acts on behalf of the eligible family members and the estate, seeking compensation for losses such as funeral and burial expenses, medical bills incurred before death, and other damages.

Our Commitment to Your Family

At Mooney Law, we understand the laws concerning wrongful death claims in Central Pennsylvania. We are committed to providing the compassionate and knowledgeable legal support you need. Our goal is to ensure that eligible family members understand their rights and can seek the justice and compensation they deserve for their loss.

Time Limitations for Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in Central Pennsylvania

At Mooney Law, we understand the importance of timing when filing a wrongful death claim in Central Pennsylvania. It’s crucial for families to know that there is a specific timeframe within which these claims must be filed, known as the statute of limitations. In Central Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is generally two years from the date of the deceased’s passing.

This period is critical for ensuring that your family’s rights are protected and that you have the opportunity to seek justice and compensation for your loss. However, navigating the legal system while grieving can be overwhelming.

That’s why we’re here to help. Our team will handle the complexities of your case, ensuring that all necessary paperwork and legal requirements are met within this timeframe.

We urge families to reach out to us as soon as possible after their loss. This allows us to provide the support and guidance needed to proceed with a wrongful death claim, ensuring no opportunity for justice is missed.
