Elements of a Philadelphia

Claim

• Before They begin to describe the elements of a
  successful wrongful death claim, please
  understand that these cases can become incredibly
  complicated. You do need to speak to a
  Philadelphia wrongful death lawyer who has the
  resources and legal experience necessary to guide
  you through this process.

In order for any wrongful death case to be
successful, the plaintiff (the person who lost
their loved one) will need to prove the following
elements
The plaintiff needs to establish that the
defendant (the alleged negligent party) owed a
duty of care to the deceased. This duty of care
can look different depending on the situation.
For example, in a car accident case, the
plaintiff will need to prove the defendant had an
obligation to obey traffic laws and drive safely
while operating their vehicle. For product
liability cases, it needs to be proven that the
company or manufacture of a product owed the
deceased a duty to provide a safe product free
from flaws.

• Duty of Care

5

• Breach of Duty

After a duty of care has been established, the
plaintiff will need to show that the defendant
somehow breached the duty of care owed to the
deceased. Following the car accident scenario,
the plaintiff will need to show that the
defendant failed to obey a traffic law or
otherwise acted negligently. This can include
operating while impaired alcohol, speeding,
running a red light, etc.

Causation
Even after a duty of care and a breach of duty
has been established, the plaintiff still needs
to show that the defendants breach of duty
directly caused the death wrongful death of the
deceased. For example, if a drunk driver runs a
red light and strikes another driver, but the
victims airbags failed to deploy because of a
defect, the cause of death could be linked to the
airbag failure and not necessarily the drunk
driver running the red light.
