Experienced Brooklyn Wrongful Death Attorneys

Losing a loved one is always hard, but it is somehow much worse when that person died as a result of an accident that did not need to happen.

Components of a Wrongful Death Claim

We know that money cannot fully compensate you for what you have lost. Nevertheless, pursuing a wrongful death claim can lessen your anxiety and provide you with financial support as you deal with:

• Accident-related medical costs
• Funeral expenses
• Replacement of lost income
• Loss of support and services

Legal Issues in New York Wrongful Death Cases

A New York state law enacted in 1847 limits the amount of compensation a family can receive in a wrongful death claim. The state does not allow compensation for anguish or grief. The state Legislature, however, has considered changing this law to allow those left behind to be compensated for their mental and emotional pain, especially in cases where a child or elderly person with little income is killed. We hope this happens soon.
