A wrongful death is a death that results from someone else’s negligent actions. A party is negligent when:
We can collect evidence to support these four points. Proof will vary depending on the type of accident involved but may include Upper Darby Police Department reports, medical records, eyewitness statements, and expert testimony.
According to Pa. Rules of Civil Procedure No. 2202, initially, only the deceased’s personal representative can bring an action for wrongful death. The action usually seeks to recover compensation for the deceased’s surviving spouse, children, and/or parents for their losses.
If the personal representative does not file a case within six months of the death, any of the deceased’s beneficiaries can file a claim on behalf of all of the beneficiaries.
42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2) generally allows two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit. If the statute of limitations runs out, the court will usually dismiss the case. Even if someone expects to settle outside of court, the deadline will matter because they lose their leverage over the insurance company if they cannot sue.
