Nothing could be more painful than the loss of a beloved family member. 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.
When a family member dies unexpectedly, it can have a significant impact on many different aspects of their loved ones’ lives. For this reason, financial compensation may be available for a wide range of different issues, including:
- Medical expenses
- Funeral expenses
- Loss of income
- Loss of companionship
These forms of compensation can be a crucial form of aid as a family struggles to recover from this difficult situation.
