SOMERSET, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a skier was killed after he was accidentally struck by another skier at a Pennsylvania resort. Seven Springs spokeswoman Katie Buchan said in a statement that “Our entire mountain family is deeply saddened by the tragic accident.” State police in Somerset County said 51-year-old Jeffrey Behr of Delmont was skiing on the Wagner trail near the main lodge at Seven Springs Mountain Resort on Saturday night. He was taken to the Seven Springs Ski Patrol medical office, where emergency medical personnel continued treatment, but he was pronounced dead there by the county coroner. Police said he was struck by another skier shortly after 9 p.m.

Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
