Wrongful Death

When somebody is killed as a result of reckless, negligent or deliberate behavior of another, family members often choose to file a wrongful death lawsuit. A surgeon's medical negligence can cost a patient her life, just as a drunk driver's reckless swerving can kill an entire family in a fraction of a second. Defective drugs and other dangerous products are responsible for the loss of lives every day.

Wrongful Death Liability

Employers may also be found responsible for a wrongful death. If a worker dies while on the job due to inadequate training, unfit working conditions, or lack of safety equipment, a wrongful death claim may be filed. If you have questions regarding wrongful death law and the liability in your loved one's death, the wrongful death attorneys at McCallion & Associates will review your case.

Ramifications of Wrongful Death

Most would agree that the loss of a loved one is one of life's most painful experiences. However, beyond the sorrow and loneliness of such a tragic loss, family members must often endure a string of expenses and hassles. Thus, the intent of a wrongful death claim is to recompense close relatives and alleviate the stress of medical and funeral bills.

Wrongful Death Damages

If wrongful death can be proven, the bereaved often recoup the following:

» Funeral expenses
» Medical expenses
» Lost wages (from time of injury to death)
» Difference of earning capacity (present value less present value of living expenses)
» In the case of certain family members, loss of companionship and services

In the event of a wrongful death, insurance companies push to settle immediately, before families of the victim can fully assess the ramifications of their loss. When a settlement is not immediately reached, these same companies recognize the importance of finding aggressive representation for their case. Medical malpractice cases often involve wealthy doctors that can afford ample legal counsel. Thus, it is essential that you find personal injury attorneys who are highly experienced with New York and federal wrongful death law. If you have lost a family member as a result of the wrongful conduct or negligence of another person or business, contact our wrongful death lawyers for a consultation today!
