The Rozhik Law Firm Wrongful Death Lawyer in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, and Bronx

Have you experienced a death in the family? If a person passes away due to the negligence of another, a wrongful death claim may be made. It is typically the personal representative of the deceased which would file this claim. The personal representative of an estate is a term used to refer to two individuals – an executor or an administrator. If a last will and testament was created naming an overseer of the estate, then the personal representative is called an executor. If there was no will in place, an administrator is appointed.

Wrongful death actions are governed by The New York Estates, Powers and Trust Laws (EPTL).  This area of law can be vey complicated but to summarize what merits a proper wrongful death claim would need to adhere to the following concept – the surviving relative or relatives have to prove that the death of the decedent has caused them or will cause them an economic loss. Monetary loss is not the only limitation here. The courts may also view guidance and parental care as a legitimate reason to file this action.

What our law firm does is retain expert professionals in the fields of finance and economics to determine the set of losses that take place because of the wrongful death of a loved one. We do our best to quantify the loss in wages, the pain and suffering endured, and the dollar amount associated with care and guidance.
