Premises Liability and Wrongful Death
You have the legal right to assume that when you are on another person’s property that the property is safe. Unfortunately, many property owners fail to take this responsibility seriously, and let their premises fall into dangerous states of disrepair. Sadly, if conditions are dangerous enough, an unsuspecting visitor or guest to a dangerous property could be injured or even die. There are many costs that can arise from the unexpected passing of a loved one, and if you are a family member or a dependent of the deceased, you could be entitled to financial compensation.
If someone you love has been killed on another person’s property because that property was unsafe, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. We know that a lawsuit cannot replace the person you lost, but a successful case may be able to help you with some of the unexpected financial difficulties you are likely facing in the wake of this tragedy.

Costs Associated with Wrongful Death
The passing of a loved one is not easy for anyone, but this difficult situation can become even more trying if you are left with high costs associated with your family member’s unexpected passing. Some of the costs that may arise include:
- Memorial costs
- Funeral costs
- Expenses related to a loss of income
- Medical bills
In Pennsylvania, even adult children of a deceased individual may be able to claim compensation for their loss, in addition to dependent and minor children. Parents may also claim compensation for a child if the child was killed on an unsafe property.
