What is Wrongful Death?
When death is found to be the result of intentional or unintentional acts or negligence of a person, persons, or entity, NY State laws allow for legal action. A wrongful death lawsuit may result in a settlement that will compensate the family of the deceased and provide for them financially in the absence of their loved one.

In New York State, winning a wrongful death lawsuit could cover medical and funeral expenses, and a cash award equal to the amount of financial support the departed loved one could have provided if they had lived. Every wrongful death case is different and usually very complex, so it is important to consult with an experienced lawyer to understand your options.
