What a Wrongful Death Case Is — and Who Can Bring One

A wrongful death case is a claim your family can bring when a person dies because of someone else's carelessness: a car or truck crash, a construction accident, a dangerous building, a medical mistake. It can help pay for funeral and burial costs, medical bills from your loved one's final care, and the support and income your family lost. Nothing about it is about putting a price on a life. It is about keeping your family on its feet and holding the responsible party accountable.

In New York, a wrongful death case is not brought by just any relative. It is brought by the personal representative of your loved one's estate — usually a spouse, adult child, or parent named by the Surrogate's Court — on behalf of the family members who depended on them. We help you through that court process too; most families have never dealt with it before. Please know this deadline: in most cases the claim must be filed within 2 years of the death. We know that is a painful clock to think about. When you are ready, we are here, and the consultation is free.

Common Questions

Who can bring a wrongful death claim in New York?
The personal representative of your loved one's estate brings the claim — usually a close family member appointed by the Surrogate's Court. The compensation goes to the family members who suffered the loss, such as a spouse, children, or parents. We guide you through every step of that process.
How long do we have to file?
In most cases, 2 years from the date of death. Some situations are shorter — for example, claims against the city or the MTA require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Calling early protects your family's rights, even if you are not ready to decide anything yet.
Will this cost our family anything?
No. The consultation is free and we only get paid if the case succeeds. We can come to your home, and we speak English, Spanish, Bengali, Greek, and Albanian.
