A wrongful death case arises as a consequence of another party’s negligence or recklessness. His or her estate can bring a wrongful death lawsuit and can be awarded damages for the beneficiaries of the deceased. In New York, a wrongful death law suit must be filed within two years of the date of death. The person who will end up filing a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the deceased plaintiff will often be the plaintiff’s closest surviving relative.

WHO CAN BRING A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT IN NEW YORK?

• A child of the decedent

PROVING YOUR CLAIM

It must be shown that the defendant in the case acted negligently and that the defendant’s negligent act or failure to act resulted in the person’s death.
