Legal Deadlines for Wrongful Death Cases in New York

You only have a limited time to take legal action against the at-fault party in a wrongful death case. You generally have two years from the date of your loved one’s passing to file your lawsuit, per EPT § 5-4.1. There are also situations where this time period is shorter.

If you wait any longer to act, you forfeit your right to sue. After evaluating your case, if there are any exceptions that may shorten these statutes of limitations, our lawyers will let you know.

How Much is Your Wrongful Death Case Worth in Suffolk County?

The value of a wrongful death claim varies from case to case. Many factors impact how much a wrongful death case is worth. Some of these factors include:

  • The age of the deceased person
  • Expected future earnings of the deceased person
  • Whether the deceased had any dependents
  • How long your loved one survived and suffered after the incident
  • The degree of pain your loved one experienced

You Could Recover These and Other Losses

Compensation in your case could account for:

  • Medical bills for treatment your loved one received before they passed away
  • Funeral expenses, such as fees for cremation, embalming, the casket, and burial plot
  • The pain and suffering your loved one endured before they passed away

OOur Team Can Manage Your Wrongful Death Case in Holtsville

Pursuing damages can be a complex process. When you work with Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P., you can expect constant support from your wrongful death attorney serving Holtsville. Here are some ways we can help you:

We Can Independently Investigate the Incident

Your lawyer will independently investigate the incident that led to your loved one’s passing for evidence of negligence. They may collect evidence such as medical records, pictures of your loved one’s injuries, interviews with eyewitnesses, toxicology reports, cell phone records, and more.

We Can Determine a Fair Value for Your Losses

Your lawyer will estimate how much your damages are worth and support this estimate with evidence, such as medical bills and records, past wage statements, and funeral and burial receipts.

We Can Submit an Insurance Claim for You

Your lawyer will file an insurance claim on your behalf and submit any required supporting documents. We can also address any bad faith insurance practices that impede your right to fair compensation.

We Can Negotiate a Settlement on Your Behalf

Insurance companies often offer low initial settlements. Your lawyer will use his estimate of your damages as a starting point for settlement negotiations.

We Can File Your Lawsuit

Your lawyer will take your case to trial if the insurance company does not agree to a fair settlement. We will keep you updated as your case advances and continue negotiating with the insurer.

What Causes Wrongful Deaths in New York?

Usually, wrongful death cases are based on the idea of negligence. When another party fails to act with reasonable caution and causes someone’s passing, it can be held accountable.

However, some cases do not rely on negligence. Instead, they rely on strict liability. So, if your loved one passed away after being exposed to a defective product, you would not prove negligence to recover damages.

Examples of Wrongful Death Cases

The most recent data from the New York State Department of Health reports that collisions are the fourth-leading cause of death in Suffolk County. Other scenarios that could serve as the basis of wrongful death cases include:

  • Medical malpractice
  • Slip and falls
  • Construction incidents
  • Workplace incidents
  • Defective products
  • Dog bites

Who Could Be Liable in a Wrongful Death Case in Holtsville?

Fault and liability are two separate concepts. The at-fault party caused or contributed to your loved one’s passing. The liable party pays for your subsequent damages. So, if your loved one passed away following a collision, the at-fault party could be another driver, and the liable party could be their insurer.

One or more of the following parties could bear fault or liability for your losses:

  • A nursing home
  • A hospital administrator
  • A product manufacturer or retail store
  • Another motorist
  • A government agency
  • A dog’s owner
  • A property owner or manager

We will use your case’s information to determine who should compensate you.
