Wrongful Death Suits for Military Fatalities
Committing to a period or lifetime of military service is among the noblest things that a person can
do. Willingly facing incredibly dangerous circumstances in order to protect one’s country and belief
system is admirable and is but one reason why our society affords veterans so much respect. Enlisting
into any branch of the Armed Forces requires that one be aware that his or her job may result in serious
injury or death, but that does nothing to ease the pain of a deceased service person’s survivors.
The United States government and all military services are protected from legal actions for wrongful
death. However, the contractors or manufacturers whose negligence or flawed products caused the untimely
death of your loved one may be targeted by a lawsuit. Contact the Pennsylvania wrongful death lawyers

about your case.
Potential Causes for a Wrongful Death Suit
The companies that are responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the products and facilities
used on military bases and in the course of performing active duty missions are liable for injuries
that result from their negligence. The diversity of goods and services that are incorporated into modern
military endeavors is remarkable, but unfortunately it is matched by an equally diverse array of threats
to soldier safety. Potential causes for a wrongful death suit include:
- Defective or Malfunctioning Parachutes
- Misfiring or Defectively Designed Weapons
- Motor Vehicle Defects
- Toxic Foods
- Dangerous Drugs
