Frequently Asked Questions About Wrongful Death Claims In New York
Here are three common questions that surviving family members usually ask regarding wrongful death claims:
Who can file a wrongful death claim in New York?
In New York, the deceased victim’s personal representative must file the wrongful death claim on behalf of their surviving loved ones, such as their spouse, children or parents. A lawyer can help determine who should be appointed and explain how the process works.
What types of incidents can lead to a wrongful death claim?
Wrongful death claims can arise from a wide range of situations involving negligence or misconduct. Common examples include car crashes, workplace accidents, medical malpractice and unsafe property conditions. Any situation where an individual’s actions or failure to act leads to a fatal outcome may qualify. Specific facts and the establishment of liability will help influence each case.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in New York?
New York law imposes a strict deadline, known as the “statute of limitations,” for filing wrongful death lawsuits. In most cases, this period is two years from the day the victim died, with some exceptions.
Missing this deadline may result in losing the right to pursue compensation entirely. Since legal timelines can vary, it is important to seek the help of a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible.
