Wrongful Death

Wrongful death litigation serves both a compensatory and deterrent function. While no amount of money can replace a lost loved one, these actions can ease the financial burden left behind and hold negligent parties accountable. In New York, wrongful death law is uniquely structured to focus on pecuniary loss, making the role of legal counsel essential to accurately quantify damages and present a compelling case. Whether the death results from medical malpractice, a car crash, or nursing home neglect, timely legal action is critical to protect the rights of the estate and the decedent’s family.
