Queens Wrongful Death Attorney Keetick L. Sanchez Discusses Establishing Fault In a Wrongful Death Case

March 09, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Queens wrongful death attorney Keetick L. Sanchez releases a new article (https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/wrongful-death-attorney/) that explains how a lawyer established fault in a wrongful death case. The lawyer mentions that one of the most difficult claims in personal injury law is a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death is when someone dies as a result of the negligence of someone else.

“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, and defective products,” says the Queens wrongful death attorney.

The lawyer explains that not all family members are eligible to seek a New York wrongful death claim. Usually, a wrongful death claim is only limited to the deceased person’s spouse, children or parents. If there are no such family members, a personal representative, or a court-appointed representative may be able to contact a wrongful death lawyer.

Attorney Keetick L. Sanchez mentions that some circumstances allow other family members or legal dependents to pursue a claim. The accident attorney also adds that wrongful death is similar to a personal injury claim. The difference is that the family members are filing the claim instead of the victim.

In the article, attorney Keetick Sanchez adds that proof of negligence is broken down into specific steps. The lawyer would usually have to prove that the defendant had a duty of care toward the deceased, that the duty of care was breached, that the breach caused the death of the deceased, and that there are costs or other damages that should be compensated

According to the personal injury lawyer, “Determining losses and damages in a wrongful death claim can be complex. Some damages are easily quantifiable and others will require extensive research and analysis. Quantifying damages like future income, household services, and loss of love and comfort require a skilled New York City wrongful death lawyer to consider many different aspects such as life expectancy, career advancement, inflation, and other factors.”

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.
