New York City Wrongful Death Attorneys
Compassionate Service, Aggressive Representation — Depend on It
Pursuing a wrongful death action will not bring back your loved one. It won't necessarily make you feel as though justice is being done or even make you feel better. What it can do is help you and your children gain financial security in the years to come and at the same time, work to create a safer community for everyone by holding people and businesses accountable for their actions.
If you have suffered the wrongful death of a loved one, you have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit. In addition, the longer you wait to bring a claim, the harder it gets to investigate the accident. Don't wait. Contact Greenstein & Milbauer, LLP today.
Our firm maintains an extensive personal injury practice in New York City and the surrounding areas of Long Island and Westchester County that also handles wrongful death actions for grieving families. Our lawyers have years of experience investigating accidental and intentional deaths, negotiating with insurance companies and taking these lawsuits to trial.
Wrongful Death Compensation
Whether we're talking about a drowning victim, a fatal fire, a fatal car accident or any other type of "accidental death" — if someone's negligence played a role, it was no accident at all. In New York, compensation for wrongful death cases is very unique. Survivors can receive compensation only if they show that they suffered a pecuniary (financial) loss. Although there are some exceptions, in most cases survivors mean spouses, children and parents. If eligibility is established under New York law, compensation may be awarded for the following:
- Mental anguish
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of income and support
- Medical and funeral expenses
- Loss of benefits
- Loss of expected future earnings
- Loss of parental guidance
In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded. In addition to helping people recover under New York's wrongful death statute, our firm also helps family members to recover no-fault insurance benefits and workers' compensation death benefits when available.
