What Is a Wrongful Death Case?
A wrongful death case is a civil lawsuit brought by family members when someone’s life is taken by someone else’s negligence or recklessness. It may involve:
- Car, truck & motorcycle accidents
- Construction or job site fatalities
- Fatal slip & fall injuries
- Pedestrian or cyclist strikes
- Defective products or unsafe conditions
- Criminal acts leading to death (even if criminal charges are separate)
You don’t have to prove intent—just that the death could have been prevented if someone had done their job or followed the law.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in New York?
- The spouse of the deceased
- Children of the deceased
- Parents (if no spouse or children)
- A personal representative of the estate
New York law gives families a limited time to file these claims. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, we can walk you through it.
What Damages Can Be Recovered?
- Funeral & burial expenses
- Medical bills related to the final injury
- Lost income & benefits the person would have provided
- Loss of companionship & parental guidance
- Emotional pain & suffering (in some cases)
- Value of household services the deceased would have contributed
While no amount of money can ever make things whole, holding the right people responsible can bring clarity, relief & a measure of closure.
What to Do After a Tragic Loss
- Request the death certificate & accident report
- Keep copies of medical bills, funeral expenses, and correspondence
- Avoid quick settlement offers from insurance companies
- Reach out to a wrongful death lawyer who understands New York law
We’ll treat your case with compassion, urgency & respect.
