Causes and Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
Any type of accident can cause a wrongful death. We have filed wrongful death lawsuits based on death caused by a fatal car crash, a surgical error, and electrocution from a defective power tool. Whatever the cause of the death, our lawyers work to minimize your suffering and maximize your compensation to the fullest extent allowable by law. New York State law limits the types of damages for wrongful death to pre-death conscious pain and suffering and economic damages. Our attorneys will evaluate your case and assert all applicable claims, including, for example, the loss of moral, intellectual, and physical training and guidance of a parent by a child. We investigate the case thoroughly, seeking compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical costs, and funeral expenses. When necessary, we use medical, economic, and psychological experts to develop a strong case.
