As a family member, you have rights after a wrongful death. However, the laws are complex and vary by state. You need a lawyer who has experience with these cases.
In West Virginia, you can bring a survival action on behalf of the decedent when a person dies because of injuries. A spouse may file a wrongful death claim, parent, child, stepchild, adopted child, sibling, grandparents, or anyone financially dependent or equitably entitled to recover compensation. You may sue for the loss of companionship, society, comfort, and guidance, income loss, retirement benefits if retired, funeral and burial costs, and medical bill reimbursement.
In Pennsylvania, you can also file survival actions and wrongful death suits. However, only a spouse, parent, or child can receive compensation if they suffer financial loss due to the death of the family member. Compensation may cover medical bills, funeral expenses, benefits, and future earnings, loss of companionship, and punitive damages.

The grief that accompanies these losses can be overwhelming. However, the family must also consider the practical problems such as how to pay for the funeral and medical expenses as well as how to compensate for the loss of the victim's future income. These are serious issues that cannot be ignored.

When an occurrence happens, a claim is made to the insurance company which has written and issued the policy to the insured – person or company. Timely notice to the insurance company is required when a loss, injury, or death occurs so that an investigation of the circumstances can be conducted by the insurance company and so that it can hire and assign a lawyer or law firm to defend the insured person or company.
Insurance policies are written contracts, prepared by experts in the insurance industry, with the aid of experienced lawyers. The terms and conditions of all insurance policies include specific definitions, endorsements, and exclusions, all of which are complicated and have special meaning under the law which controls the application and interpretation of the policy when a claim for coverage and benefits is made.
Insurance disputes arise when claims are made for coverage and benefits. In the typical insurance claim scenario, the insurance company owes two separate and distinct duties to a person or a company who has purchased a contract of insurance. Those duties are known as the duty to defend against the claim and the duty to pay or indemnify the claim. When the relationship breaks down between the insurance company and the person or company who is expecting legal and financial protection at the time a claim is made, then it becomes necessary to seek guidance from an experienced lawyer who has worked to resolve insurance disputes. Mike Benninger is one of those experienced lawyers.
