Wrongful Death

In Pennsylvania, the wrongful death law permits the beneficiaries of a person who has died as a result of the wrongful act or negligence of another person to file a lawsuit on behalf of the deceased individual. The Law Offices of Rhonda Hill Wilson can help you if you believe one of your family members died as a result of someone's negligence. For example, a wrongful death claim can arise from nursing home negligence, medical malpractice, drunk driving, or many other types of personal injury.
