Every case is different. We give every family the attention and commitment they deserve — from investigation through resolution.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in New York?

Under New York law, only the personal representative (executor or administrator) of the deceased person’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Damages recovered are then distributed to the deceased’s distributees, which may include:

  • Surviving spouse
  • Children
  • Parents — if no surviving spouse or children

If you are unsure whether you qualify to file, we can help you determine your legal standing during a free consultation.

Compensation Available in Wrongful Death Cases

New York wrongful death claims seek financial compensation for the losses suffered by surviving family members, including:

Important: New York does not permit recovery for surviving family members’ grief or emotional suffering in wrongful death actions — making it critical to maximize all available economic damages. We work with financial experts to ensure no loss goes uncalculated.

Time Limits for Wrongful Death Claims in New York

In New York, wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years from the date of death. Claims involving government entities require a notice of claim within 90 days.

Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your family’s right to compensation. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
