Girl Killed After Being Run Over By Tractor On PennsylvaniaFarm

NOTTINGHAM, Pa. (AP) — Authorities in central Pennsylvania say a young girl was killed when she was run over by a tractor. Officials in Lancaster County say the 3 or 4-year-old child was riding on the tractor with her father as he raked corn fodder on the Little Britain Township farm. Stephen Diamantoni said it was the fourth fatal farm accident in Lancaster County in 11 days. Fire department and coroner’s office investigators said the child fell from the vehicle and was run over at about 10:45 a.m. Her name was not immediately released.
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.
