Wrongful Death Law in New York

In New York, the law as it applies to wrongful death cases has some unique aspects not seen in other states. For example, in a case of instantaneous death such as by electrocution, deadly fire or drowning, dependent family members are entitled only to compensation for the future earnings of the deceased.

However, if death was not immediate and there was a period of survival (however short), family members may be entitled to compensation for their emotional suffering in addition to their financial losses.

The attorneys at Jones & Skivington will carefully examine all aspects of your case. If it has merit, we will work to build a strong case that maximizes your compensation.
