WRONGFUL DEATH DEFINED UNDER LAW

Before filing a wrongful death claim, it’s crucial to ensure that the death meets the legal standards. This step is vital in seeking justice and holding accountable those responsible for the loss. They are as follows:

There has been a loss of life.
The death resulted from the negligent actions of another party, highlighting the tragic consequences of their disregard.
Had the deceased party still been alive, the act would have been deemed illegal, adding a touch of intrigue to the situation.
The unfortunate passing of a loved one has not only left a void in the hearts of their family but also a significant financial burden to bear.
The bereaved party may have a valid claim for compensation.

WHO CAN BRING A WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM IN NYS?

In several states, multiple parties impacted by the loss of a loved one have the option to bring wrongful death claims. However, in New York, the rules differ. According to White Plains law, only the personal representative of the decedent’s estate has the authority to pursue a wrongful death claim and seek damages on behalf of the bereaved family.

DAMAGES RECOVERABLE IN A WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

When the personal representative and attorney of the decedent’s estate can support their claim, they deserve financial compensation to ease the burdens caused by the loss. This compensation can bring solace to families of accident victims, offering closure and justice. Our dedicated personal injury attorney in New York City and White Plains can help you secure compensation for damages:

Lost wages and other benefits incurred because of the financial burden of medical expenses leading up to the end of life.
The expense associated with the deceased individual’s funeral.
The agonizing pain and suffering endured in the decedent’s final moments…
The burden of footing the bill for services previously covered by the deceased is now falling on your shoulders.
Experience the power of a 9% interest on the recovery awarded, starting from the very moment of passing.
Absence of parental guidance for children.
The absence of the companionship once provided by the deceased.

“Jose is one of the most compassionate, trustworthy and brilliant lawyers in NYC! He really cares about your well-being and goes above and beyond to make sure you're well represented.

- Seda B.

José Báez is an excellent Attorney. He helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. He gave me support and was very professional and of high quality. José was always accessible and always returns my calls without delay. I just can’t say enough about José Báez. Anybody who’s been injured in a truck accident, or any other accident should definitely hire José Báez. I strongly recommend Mr. Báez.

- Elizabeth S.

Not only have I had the pleasure of working alongside Jose, but I’ve also been on the receiving end of his handling of the transference of my father’s estate. Jose and the Baez Legal Group demonstrated a kind of versatility, accountability, and dedication rarely seen outside of large international law firms. He handles a wide variety of cases with seeming ease, often surprising both his clients and I with the scope of his knowledge of different legal disciplines. Jose is not one of the myriads of lawyers that always seem too busy to allocate the proper amount of care and time to their clients; in fact, he was often in the habit of reaching out first, even if just to see how we’re doing. Should you wish to receive an unprecedented amount of excellence in the handling of your case, the Baez Legal Group should be your first and only resort.
