Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in New York
Wrongful death claims in New York are complex and require a nuanced understanding of local laws and the legal process. A wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the negligence or wrongful act of another. The claim is brought forward by the estate of the deceased, representing their interests and seeking compensation for survivors. Key elements of a wrongful death case include proving negligence led to the death, establishing the damages suffered by the survivors, and navigating New York’s specific requirements for filing a claim, such as the two-year statute of limitations.
The process typically involves an investigation into the circumstances of the death, filing insurance claims, negotiating settlements, and possibly going to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. As your wrongful death attorneys in New York, Harris, Keenan & Goldfarb is here to handle every step, ensuring your rights are protected and striving for the justice your loved one deserves.
