Re: wrongful death

I need a few more facts but on the surface the law where the wrongful death occurred would control as far as the (I assume) accident. If it involves contracts of insurance then both the law of PA and KS may apply. If you'd like a more complete answer please feel free to call or send me a more detailed e-mail with your questions.
