New York Wrongful Death Attorney

New York's wrongful death statute provides that the personal representative of the estate may sue on behalf of the distributees of the deceased. A wrongful death lawsuit can result in a monetary recovery for the financial injuries resulting from a wrongful death. The value of a wrongful death claim will usually include reasonable expenses for medical care, nursing, and funeral expenses, as well as lost net income, fringe benefits and household services. The loss of the deceased's nurture, care, guidance and love is also a potential damages claim. The issues are often complex and require an experienced lawyer to prosecute the case carefully, yet vigorously.

To learn whether there may be grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit, contact New York wrongful death attorney, Edward T. Chase, today.
