Financial Compensation in a Wrongful Death Case
In the state of New York, only the personal representative of the person who passed away may file a wrongful death case. The personal representative is either someone named in the will of a wrongful death victim or, if there is no will, someone -usually a family member who petitions the court and is appointed to serve in that capacity. If a representative has not already been appointed, our attorneys will determine for you who that person is and advise you and other family members on how to proceed.
These are the types of recoverable damages in a wrongful death case:
- Medical expenses incurred prior to the loved one’s passing, including hospital stays and ER visits, surgeries, medications, rehab, or nursing care. There may also be end-of-life medical expenses such as long-term care, hospice, home caregivers, and a myriad of out-of-pocket expenses.
- The pain and suffering your loved one experienced because of their injuries.
- Loss of comfort, guidance, assistance, and companionship your loved one offered.
- Loss of income and financial support that your loved one provided their family members.
- Burial and funeral expenses incurred by the loved one’s estate or family members.
Our Oceanside attorneys will adopt a big-picture perspective when evaluating your case. We will value your case so that it appropriately reflects the scope of the loss you are experiencing.

Our Legal Team’s Approach to Your Wrongful Death Case
Wrongful death cases can be complex, as our investigations may point to multiple liable parties or even big companies. Not to mention that insurance companies are often hesitant to pay what a family deserves for their loss. We want to shield you from this bullying and intimidation.
Our attorneys are your guides through the process of a wrongful death case. When we take you on as our client, we do the following for you:
- Keep you informed about the progress of your case
- Review the accident or event which caused your loved one’s passing and identify the liable party or parties
- Handle all communication with the parties involved in your case
- Gather evidence to support your case, such as medical statements, visual records, witness statements, and police reports
- Identify and work with appropriate expert witnesses
- Review compensatory damages and additional factors to arrive at an appropriate case value
