Motorcycle accidents in the United States
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the number of motorcyclists killed or injured in accidents in Pennsylvania and across the country is on the rise. Driving without a valid license, elevated blood alcohol levels and not wearing a helmet are some factors that have contributed to this increase.
Wrongful death in Pennsylvania
Residents in Pennsylvania may benefit from learning more about the state's provisions that govern actions for wrongful death. Pennsylvania code requires action for wrongful death to be filed by the personal representative of the decedent. If no claim is filed within six months following the incident, a representative of someone lawfully entitled to recover damages may take action. In many cases, several people may be lawfully entitled to recover damages, so the restitution may need to be dispensed accordingly.
