End of Life Medical Expenses
Fatal accidents or acts of willful malice and violence that result in the death of a loved one can be incredibly destructive to you and your family in ways that extend far beyond the anguishing emotional pain and suffering that is expected. There can be lingering adverse effects on a family’s finances, and this particular issue becomes amplified if the victim of an accident or crime received emergency medical care or prolonged life-sustaining treatment in a hospital or other medical facility before passing away.
It can be hard to fully appreciate the need for financial compensation in the midst of your grief, but our experience has shown us that the lasting consequences of a loved one’s wrongful death frequently exceed the expectations of a family. We can help you to prepare for your future in the wake of this tragedy. Contact the Pennsylvania wrongful death lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511.
Healthcare Costs
It is not uncommon for an accident to leave a person seriously injured but still with some reasonable hope of recovery, only to find that hours, days, weeks, or even months later his or her condition takes a turn for the worst and results in a death attributable to the initial events. During this time, depending upon the treatment given, the medical bills can greatly surpass the policy limits on relevant insurance policies, leaving a family to struggle with massive medical debts. The following represents a small sample of the potential expenses:
- Ambulance transportation
- Surgical procedures
- Diagnostic imaging
- Blood tests
- Medications
- Visits from nurses or doctors
- Hospital supplies
- Hospital stay expenses
