The statute of limitations on when you lose a loved one to negligence claims in Pennsylvania is two years from the date of death. This means that your family has just two years to bring your lawsuit; if the statute of limitations expires, the court will almost certainly dismiss your case.
It should be noted that, in Pennsylvania, only the person legally appointed to handle your loved one’s affairs can file the lawsuit when you lose a loved one to negligence. This is someone who has either been named in the decedent’s will or, if the individual died without a will, someone appointed by the court. Often, but not always, the personal representative is a close family member of the decedent, such as a surviving spouse or child.
Don’t wait – preserve your family’s right to justice.
Pennsylvania’s most trusted wrongful death attorney brings four decades of courtroom experience to families seeking justice.
Joe is the meticulous strategist clients turn to after a tragedy, assembling facts, experts, and themes to hold wrongdoers accountable.

When your family loses a loved one to negligence, Pennsylvania law allows claims that can help your family recover for financial losses and the harms recognized by law. A civil claim is separate from any criminal case and exists to support the family and the estate after a preventable death. At Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George P.C., we understand your pain and know that no amount of financial recovery can compensate you for your loss. Your family deserves answers.
Depending on the specific details of the case, your family may be entitled to the following damages:
Our New Castle attorneys fighting for grieving families focus on your family’s needs at every step. We can prepare each case for court and will try the case if that is the best path to justice for your loved one. Your family can count on clear communication, steady guidance, and compassionate representation from the first call through resolution.
Don’t let time run out on your justice. Evidence disappears quickly, and Pennsylvania families have only 2 years to file. Contact us within 24 hours to protect your case and preserve your family’s right to justice.
| Legal Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Who Can File | Spouse, children, or parents of the deceased may bring wrongful death claims. The personal representative of the estate can also file on behalf of beneficiaries. |
| Types of Damages Recoverable | Economic damages include funeral and burial expenses, medical bills before death, loss of income, and loss of services. Non-economic damages include loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and loss of guidance. Survival actions may include pain and suffering before death. |
| Statute of Limitations | 2 years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim. |
| Distribution of Recovery | If there is a surviving spouse and children: the first $30,000 goes to the spouse; the remainder is divided between spouse and children. If only a spouse survives, all proceeds go to the spouse. If no spouse or children survive, proceeds go to parents. |
| Survival Action | A separate claim that allows the estate to recover for losses the deceased suffered before death, such as medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages. |
