Personal Injury Lawyer

Every wrongful death case is unique, and the value of a claim depends on factors such as the deceased person’s age, earning capacity, financial contributions, the circumstances of the accident, and the losses suffered by surviving family members. Because no two cases are alike, there is no standard settlement amount or guaranteed outcome.

Under New York law, eligible family members may be able to recover compensation for the financial losses resulting from their loved one’s death. Our wrongful death attorneys carefully evaluate every aspect of the case to pursue the maximum compensation available under the law.

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:

• Funeral and Burial Expenses: Reasonable costs associated with funeral services, burial, or cremation.
• Medical Expenses: Medical bills related to the treatment provided before your loved one’s passing.
• Lost Income and Future Financial Support: The earnings, employment benefits, and financial contributions your loved one would likely have provided to the family.
• Loss of Household Services: The value of services the deceased contributed, such as childcare, home maintenance, transportation, and other day-to-day support.
• Loss of Parental Guidance and Support: Compensation that may be available for the loss of a parent’s care, guidance, education, and nurturing provided to surviving children.

Our legal team works with financial experts, economists, and other professionals when appropriate to accurately assess damages and build a strong claim on behalf of surviving family members.
