Wrongful death is the most devastating outcome of someone else's negligence. Car accidents on Roosevelt Boulevard and Philadelphia's most dangerous corridors, construction accidents across the city, medical malpractice at area hospitals, and workplace incidents claim lives in Philadelphia every year. PennDOT reported 132 fatal crash victims in Philadelphia alone in 2023. Families are left without a spouse, a parent, a child — often without the financial support that person provided. Insurance companies may use delay and lowball tactics against grieving families. TopDog fights to get you every dollar your family deserves.
Wrongful deaths in Philadelphia happen on Roosevelt Boulevard and Broad Street, in construction zones across the city, in hospital rooms at Temple and Einstein, and in workplaces throughout Philadelphia County. We know how these cases are built in Pennsylvania and how to hold defendants accountable. Those losses cause real damage to families and we fight to get them the justice and financial security they deserve.
Insurance companies and defense attorneys across Philadelphia County may use delay, denial, and lowball tactics to minimize the loss of life and pay grieving families as little as possible. We know how to leverage the justice system in Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas to fight back for the full recovery your family may be entitled to.
