HOW DO ALLENTOWN WRONGFUL DEATH CASES ARISE?

Wrongful death cases in Pennsylvania are brought by the surviving family members or the estate of a person killed due to the careless, negligent, or willful actions of another person, company, or entity. These cases can become incredibly complex and involve a significant investigation.

There are various ways in which wrongful death incidents in this area arise. Some of the most common cases our Allentown wrongful death lawyers handle include:

  • Vehicle Accidents: During Pennsylvania’s latest reporting year, we know that 1,190 people were killed in traffic accidents across the commonwealth. Many of these deaths were caused by driver negligence, including impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding, and more.
  • Commercial Vehicle Accidents: According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), 4,761 people were killed due to large truck accidents during the latest reporting year across the US.
  • Product Liability: Companies and manufacturers sometimes allow products with design flaws, manufacturing errors, and product labeling issues to hit the market. These products can cause serious harm and death to consumers.
  • Medical Mistakes: Johns Hopkins researchers have said that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in this country, killing approximately 250,000 people each year. Medical mistakes are the result of a medical professional’s negligent behavior, and often include surgical mistakes, misdiagnosis, failure to treat, medication mistakes, and more.
  • Criminal Activity: Wrongful death cases often coincide with criminal actions and criminal cases. This could include homicide, manslaughter, DUI cases, and more.
  • Workplace Accidents: Employers are responsible for ensuring their workers are safe. However, there are times when employers know of unsafe conditions and fail to remedy them. There are also times when third-party contractors are responsible for workplace injuries or fatalities.

This is not a complete list of what can cause wrongful death situations. Please speak to an attorney about your particular case.
