What Type Of Compensation Can You Receive In A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
After a fatal car accident or another such event, you may be entitled to compensation for emergency medical bills, transportation, lost wages and other areas that would also be addressed through a personal injury lawsuit. After all, the injured party may have received treatment before ultimately passing away, and those medical bills and other financial obligations remain. That said, you may also be eligible for compensation for:
- Lost future earnings
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral and burial costs
- Pain and suffering or emotional trauma
Every case is unique, but our experienced team can help you identify the specific types of compensation you deserve.
Who Can File A Wrongful Death Lawsuit In New York?
Only a few eligible parties can file a wrongful death suit. This starts with the surviving spouse and then extends to any surviving children. In some cases, the parents of the deceased may be eligible to file a lawsuit, such as when a minor passes away in a car accident.
Finally, if the deceased individual had an estate plan and chose a legal representative or an estate executor, that person may be able to file a wrongful death suit on behalf of the estate or the beneficiaries named in that documentation.
