You need to find out if you can file a wrongful death claim to get compensation for your loss. The executor of an estate (the personal representative for the deceased) is the only person who can file a claim for wrongful death in New York. However, they are allowed to do so on behalf of spouses, children, and parents of the deceased. They will then become the beneficiaries of any settlement. It is important to know that the statute for wrongful death cases is very short. You only have two years to file your wrongful death suit.

An experienced wrongful death lawyer can help determine who is at fault for the death. For example, an injured driver in a car crash, a medical provider in medical malpractice cases, a property owner in slip and fall accidents, or pet owners in the case of dog attacks. Some cases involve multiple parties sharing the responsibility. To avoid payment or liability, those responsible might try to put the blame on the victim. You may even find that your deceased loved one is partially responsible. But, you still have a claim for wrongful deaths
New York follows comparative negligence. This means that the blame for incidents can be divided and it can impact how much liability each person is subject to. Even if your loved is partially to blame, it's possible that others are still liable for compensating you, but a lower percentage. While this may mean that you might not receive the maximum compensation, it does not mean you should stop seeking the compensation you are due. Our experts will help you make the best possible case and hold those responsible accountable.
