Common reasons for wrongful death include:

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim In New York?
In New York, only the personal representative of the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death claim. This person may be the deceased’s spouse, parent, child or someone the court appoints. They can seek compensation for funeral costs, lost income, or the loss of love and support. These cases are complex, so working with skilled New York personal injury lawyers is essential to build a strong claim.
