How Do Wrongful Death Cases in New Cassel Work?
Wrongful death lawsuits work very much like personal injury lawsuits. When harm is done, a lawsuit seeks monetary compensation for the wronged party. In the case of wrongful death, compensation is sought by the decedent’s family.
The first step in the process is filing a demand letter. This letter outlines the facts surrounding the validity of the claim and demands compensation. Many claims are settled through negotiations before they reach civil court. Negotiations can take place over an extended period.
In situations where negotiations do not succeed, our wrongful death team will file a lawsuit and guide your case to completion. That process requires filing your lawsuit within New York’s civil statute of limitations. To comply with this deadline, we encourage you to consider our help as soon as possible.
Your Legal Team Must Assert and Prove Another Party’s Negligence
In a wrongful death case, it’s on you (the plaintiff) to prove that the other party acted negligently. To prove liability, the recognized elements of negligence are:
- Duty of care: The defendant is responsible for acting in a cautious manner. In medical malpractice (for example), this is defined as a doctor’s duty to supply the proper medical care.
- Breach of duty: This defines the specific expected behavior that was not performed or inadequately performed. In our previous example, a doctor who performs surgery while intoxicated breaches their duty of care.
- Causation: This describes how the actions or inactions (the breach of duty) of another party contributed to your loved one’s passing.
- Damages: You must show that following your loved one’s passing, you have various losses.
Proving negligence requires evidence, knowledge of state law, and other obligations. Now, we want you to focus on your grief and well-being. Our team will go to bat for your legal rights.
