Wrongful Death

Compassionate representation for families seeking accountability after a devastating loss.

Wrongful Death Claims in New York

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.

What a Claim May Recover

  • Medical expenses related to the final injury
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Lost financial support the loved one would have provided
  • Loss of parental guidance for surviving children
  • The conscious pain and suffering of the loved one before death

Wrongful Death Questions, Answered by Our Attorneys

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.
