NYC Wrongful Death Lawyer Keetick L. Sanchez Discusses Who Are Able to File a New York Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Jul 21, 2022
July 21, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - NYC wrongful death lawyer Keetick L. Sanchez releases a new article (https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/wrongful-death-attorney/) explaining who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in New York. The lawyer mentions that one of the most difficult claims in personal injury law is the wrongful death claim. This claim may be able to help the family receive compensation for their losses, though, it may not be able to make up for the death of a loved one.
According to the NYC wrongful death lawyer, “In New York State, when a family member suffers a fatal accident due to the negligence of another, a wrongful death lawsuit may be initiated by family members or a personal representative of the estate. Under New York law, a wrongful death claim can be brought if a loved one’s death was wrongfully or negligently caused by intentional actions or criminal acts, medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, or defective product.”
The lawyer explains that not everyone can seek damages for wrongful deaths in New York. This ability usually is restricted to the spouse, children, or parents of the deceased. A personal representative or court-appointed representative can contact a New York wrongful death lawyer if there are no children or spouses. Other legal dependents and family members could also be eligible to file a claim.
According to Attorney Keetick Sanchez, wrongful death can be treated in the same way as a personal injury case. The wrongful death case is filed by the estate's family members. To prove negligence, a wrongful death case must be proven against the defendant. Negligence refers to behavior that is not consistent with the standard of care that an ordinary person would use in the same situation.
“It’s important to keep in mind that a wrongful death case is not meant to make up for your grief. Although it is a very emotional time for the family, it is also often a financially difficult time. A wrongful death claim is meant to provide a financial means to offset economic and non-economic damages that your loved one would have been able to claim had he or she survived,” the accident lawyer says.
Lastly, attorney Sanchez emphasizes the importance of having a skilled wrongful death lawyer when it comes to matters such as wrongful death claims. Having an experienced lawyer may be able to help the client understand their rights and receive compensation for the pain they suffered.
