Compassionate representation for families seeking accountability after a devastating loss.
Losing a loved one because of someone else's negligence is devastating, and no claim can undo that loss. What a wrongful death case can do is provide a measure of accountability and financial stability for the family left behind. Shim Law Group, P.C. handles these sensitive cases with care and compassion while pursuing the responsibility that is owed.
In New York, a wrongful death claim is generally brought by the personal representative of the estate on behalf of surviving family members. These cases can arise from car and truck accidents, unsafe premises, medical situations, and other forms of negligence.
We handle the legal process with sensitivity, so your family can grieve. We investigate what happened, identify who is responsible, guide the estate through the steps required to bring a claim, and pursue full accountability on your family's behalf.
Our attorneys are ready to talk with your family confidentially and at your pace. Contact us today at (718) 878-1177 or fill out our online form for free.
A wrongful death claim is generally filed by the personal representative of the deceased person's estate, on behalf of the surviving family members who suffered a loss. We can help the family understand and take the necessary steps.
New York sets specific deadlines for wrongful death claims, and they can be shorter than for other injury cases. Because the timeline is strict, it is important to speak with an attorney sooner rather than later.
A wrongful death claim addresses the losses to the surviving family, while a survival claim addresses the conscious pain and suffering the loved one experienced before passing. A case can involve both.
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and you do not pay unless we win the case.
