What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death case is a civil claim brought by surviving family members after someone dies due to another party’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions. These cases often involve:

1

Fatal car, truck, or motorcycle accidents

2

Construction or workplace incidents

3

Medical malpractice

4

Unsafe property conditions

5

Defective products or equipment

6

Fires, electrocution, or explosions

7

Assault or intentional harm

If someone else’s actions caused the death, we’ll work to hold them legally and financially responsible.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in NY?

Under New York law, the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate (often a spouse, parent, or adult child) is the one who files the claim. Any compensation recovered is distributed to eligible surviving family members, such as:


  • Spouse
  • Children
  • Parents
  • Other dependents or heirs

We’ll help you understand your rights and handle every step of the process with care.

What You Can Recover

While no amount of money can replace a person, wrongful death claims help families recover financially after a tragic loss. You may be entitled to compensation for:


  • Funeral & burial costs
  • Medical expenses related to the final injury
  • Loss of financial support or benefits
  • Loss of parental guidance or companionship
  • Pain & suffering the deceased experienced before death
  • Emotional and practical impacts on surviving family members

We’ll work to document the full effect of the loss and pursue the maximum recovery allowed by law.

Frequently Asked QuestionS – Wrongful Death in NY

  • How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit?

    In most cases, the deadline is 2 years from the date of death. If the case involves a public agency or city property, it may be shorter. We’ll help you act in time.

  • Can multiple family members file the claim together?

    No. Only the estate’s representative files the claim, but compensation is distributed among eligible survivors.

  • What if there’s a criminal case too?

     You can still file a civil wrongful death claim regardless of any criminal charges. The outcome of one doesn’t control the other.
