I live in Philadelphia but my accident occurred in another state. Where do I file my wrongful death case?

Determining the proper jurisdiction in which to file a wrongful death lawsuit is sometimes a complex matter. We generally advise someone in this unfortunate situation to speak first with a local lawyer here in Philadelphia to determine the best course of action forward. The lawyer may conclude that the lawsuit belongs in another state’s court, rather than a court here in Pennsylvania, but if so, the lawyer can likely also help you connect with reliable legal counsel in that state.
